Topic: The Whole Child
Unbalanced: Which table leg is missing?
A square table with only three legs will topple right over.  Our children are no different, if one of their developmental areas are ignored: social, emotional, cognitive and physical.  All of these areas are rooted in their spiritual development and work together to provide holistic health for the whole child. Join us at our next Parent Chat, as counselor Dawn Poulterer, gives us tools to regain balance for our children and for ourselves in health and with purpose.
 
Which area in your child's development needs tuning?
