Pumpkin Patch Day~ Sunday, October 9th

Thank you to those of you who made it out to the Pumpkin Patch on Sunday! We had a great time picking out pumpkins, playing games, riding rides and relaxing. Here are some of the fun moments captured: 

KSG (Kid's Small Groups)

What: Kid’s Small Groups (Pre-K through 5^th Grade)

Where and When: Begins on October 9^th at 9 am in Kid’s City.

Why: It’s our hope that by the time your child is in middle school, they will know the basics of what it means to be a Christ follower. Your child will be placed in a group with other kids their age and have an opportunity to navigate through a journey of discovery. Kids will meet with their small group each Sunday and then accomplish one lesson each week at home. Here is the list of what your child will be learning throughout the journey of Kid’s Small Groups:

Pre-K: How to Know God- A Journey to Discover God’s Purpose

Kindergarten: How to Obey God- A Journey to Discover God’s Promise

1^st Grade: How to Love Jesus- A Journey to Discover My Savior

2^nd Grade: How to Worship Jesus- A Journey to Discover My Church

3^rd Grade: How to Belong to Jesus- A Journey to Discover My Purpose

4^th Grade: How to Grow in Jesus- A Journey to Discover My Spiritual Growth

5^th Grade: How to Serve Jesus- A Journey to Discover My S.H.A.P.E

What now? You can email Lyndsey@fbcsd.com or call the church office at 858.457.4827 for more information. Other than that we will see you on October 9^th! Books will be handed out on the first day of small groups!

Accountable Kids

The Accountable Kids positive parenting program provides everything busy parents need to start teaching accountability and responsibility. It is a back to basics approach to add structure and harmony to the home. The positive parenting program is designed with focus on the family in mind. Children learn to balance choices and consequences in a fun and productive manner, freeing up time and energy for the entire family.

Accountable Kids is a unique parenting program designed to teach accountability and responsibility in the home.  It is a back-to-basics system which includes essential parenting principles and concrete stepping stones that strengthen relationships and build a foundation for success; an ideal program for ADHD natural treatment therapy. Children learn to balance choices and consequences in a fun, productive manner.  They experience the joy of being a vital, contributing member of the family and develop confidence and self-worth. The Accountable Kids program includes a book, Quick Start DVD, Progress Board, 50 Reminder Cards, 3 blank Reminder Cards, 10 Tickets, 10 Bonus Bucks, 3 Special Date Cards, 4 Best Behavior Cards, and 2 Privilege Passes, and 2 sticker sheets.  The Accountable Kids program provides everything parents need to maximize efforts and bring structure and harmony into the home.

The final goal of the AK program is for children to discover that some of the most important rewards come from within. The AK program uses life lessons of completing jobs, earning privileges, displaying positive behaviors, and working for future rewards to develop positive character traits. Parents learn how children think, reason, and perceive life through fun experiments and simple psychological theories. The Accountable Kids program is divided into four basic steps. Each step introduces new concepts and tools to help parents take accountability to the next level.

Steps to Raising Accountable Kids

Step One: Children learn to take care of personal responsibilities without constant direction. They learn work ethics, time management, and responsibility. Children earn Tickets by completing basic chores. Tickets can then be used for activities or privileges. Tickets provide parents the ability to discipline without losing control or physical contact. Basic values are encouraged and reinforced with the Best Behavior Card.

Step Two: The Privilege Pass is introduced to eliminate specific negative behaviors. This process empowers children to predict consequences, follow rules, and redirect themselves towards positive behaviors. A Special Date Card is added to allow children to work for future rewards and enhance parent/child relationships.

Step Three: Completing basic chores provides basic privileges, but not the extras. Children earn Bonus Bucks for completing extra chores. This gives them the ability to make decisions about purchases. They experience the advantages of saving and learn to manage resources for the future.

Step four: The Family Forum presents an opportunity to discuss goals, problems, challenges, and accomplishments. It provides an opportunity to monitor progress and encourage positive behaviors. Quiet Time is introduced to refresh and recharge children and parents. It encourages the use of imagination, self-discipline, and self-entertainment.
