Introduction-Fall 2011

• This is not a class to make you feel guilty.

• You will get more in one week than you can do all year.  It’s like trying to take a drink from a fire hydrant.  You will get a little in, but you will miss a lot as well.

• Your goal is to change 1 thing that will stay with you always

• This is Sister Tanner’s 21^st year teaching this parenting class.

• Her promise: If you do the homework each week.  You won’t be the same person in 10 weeks that you are right now, but you have to do the homework to change.

• All of your relationships will change when you change. 

• About Sister Tanner:  She had 10 children in 12 years, they were 14 months apart, her 3^rd  child was a vibrant red and very opinionated.  She had to study how to become a better parent.  Her favorite text book is the current Ensign.  She wasn’t to help us get from generals to specifics.  She has taught at BYU-I Education Week for 9 years.
