There are no face-to-face classes at CCSF for now. Please see the official CCSF Announcement, or see below in CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT section.
This is a historical time, dealing with Covid-19. It's a time when we are considering our own health, the health of of others, and even life and death. For many of us, whose schedules have emptied because of cancelled gatherings, meetings, parties, sports events, work... there is possibly some time to take stock in what is most important. Spring time is the time of year when we also think of growth, blooming, and what is flourishing, and the time every year when I bring up the family vision and mission. A vision and mission help us make choices with a purpose. In the book, Becoming The Parent You Want To Be, by Laura Davis and Janis Keyser, they write how this framework can guide our parenting. "Creating and holding a vision is critical to us and to the health of our families. When we know what we are striving for, we have a yard stick by which to measure our choices and actions as parent. We learn to enact our values in the present and project them into the future." (p.3) In this Covid era, when you are making choices as to what is essential to living and thriving, and while you are spending more time at home, consider your core values and what gives meaning and purpose to your family --then write it down.

EXTRAS
Becoming The Parent You Want To Be, by Laura Davis and Janis Keyser is a book I read when I was a new parent, and before I started teaching parenting education. I had forgotten all about this book, until a colleague reminded me of it. When I picked it up again recently, I realized that this book helped form many of my parenting ideas. I like how it addresses the fact that all parents are different, and every child needs to be parented in their own way. It is a fabulous resource that is worth picking up, or checking it out from the library.
