Raising your kids without raising your blood preassure

This weekend we went to a wonderful weekend parenting confrence that was hosted by the Winkler Ministerial at the EMM Church. The fee was $15 per adult, childcare was free and lunch was provided. What mennonite could resist? When Charity rejected the childcare option, grandma and grandpa Dyck along with auntie Sara stepped in and took her with them on Saturday. And Auntie Barb spent Friday evening with Charity.

The speaker this weekend was Christian commedian Phil Callaway.

He spoke very much to our situation. We have some very lively kids and we often wonder "what are we doing wrong? Why do those parents ignore their kids and they sit still while ours run and run...." We were encouraged to hear stories about how there is light at the end of the parenting tunnel. Actually, I laughed until I ran out of air a few times.
