Parenting classes offered
The Morrow County
Commission on Children &
Families
will
sponsor
a
"Parenting With Love and Logic"
course beginning on Thursday,
April 13.
The class is outlined for
parents, grandparents, school
teachers, child care providers and
anyone who would like to
develop their parenting and
discipline skills.
"Many parents want their kids
to be well prepared for life and
they know this means kids will
make mistakes and must be held
accountable for these mistakes.
But these parents often fail to
hold the kids accountable for
poor decisions because they are
afraid the kids will see their
parents as being mean," said Dar
Merrill, director of the Morrow
County Commission on Children
& Families. "The result is they
often excuse bad behavior,
finding it easier to hold others,
Chamber Chatter
By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager
This past weekend I took a
walk along the creek and noticed
how nature changes everything
daily. The beaver have been hard
at work cutting trees and building
dams, stopping the natural flow
with the creation of ponds.
Eagles were flying overhead, in
abundance once again. On the
hill were seven pronghorns.
Wildlife seems to come and
go given changing conditions
over the years. Similar to people,
really. Some changes we can
cause; others we are made to feel
like victims. Communication
helps us to deal with the variety
of change in our daily lives.
Sometimes we need to get really
serious; others we need to relax a
little and enjoy the short time we
have and recognize the gifts right
under our noses.
The Extension Service called
about 26 people together last
week for a meeting to identify
trends and needs of Morrow
County. The group came up with
10, one being "creating county
