PARENTING RESOURCES from Pastor Mike and Kathy Viladesau As part of the pastoral team at One Church and OSOTA, our passion is to see children and parents boldly navigating the challenges of this age. Our heart’s desire is to see parents partnering with OSOTA and facing today’s unique obstacles. Your child’s most successful future as a graduate and young adult begins with a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. We wish for your scholar to know Him both through His Word and His presence. Our pastoral team, in cooperation with OSOTA’s counselors, administration and teachers are committed to the emotional and spiritual well-being of your scholar. Scholars begin the journey into adolescence in a world of sexting, bullying, online stalking and moral defiance. Innocence is under attack, and parents cannot win the battle with a single awkward talk or a strict set of rules. Here are some resources we recommend to help you parent: Passport2Purity® (P2P), a resource to assist you in building heart-to-heart communication with your preteen while laying a foundation of purity that will prepare them for the turbulent years ahead. Passport2Purity® is designed to be used by a mother and daughter or a father and son when the child is a preteen. CelebrateKids.com, Dr. Kathy Koch’s website, provides valuable parenting resources, including how to develop healthy screen habits and how to understand your child’s multiple intelligences. Focus on the Family, offers a variety of resources on a broad range of parenting to pics from a Christian perspective. Parenting Teens Summit, is an online conference with practical tools to help your teen build lifelong faith. With love, Pastor Mike & Kathy [email protected] & [email protected]
