ParentLife Everyday January 2011
Each month ParentLife pulls together a one-page document for preschool and children's leaders and teachers that highlights articles that might help families they work with. But this also is a great tool for parents! The articles below are in our current January 2011 issue of ParentLife. Read the articles that minister to your family and pass along a copy to those who might benefit from it!
