The preteen years are tough. Let's navigate them together. At this retreat, we will give kids the opportunity to not only ask questions about growing up, but to get faith-based answers as well. We will cover physical development and spiritual connection while helping preteens establish a foundation for their life in Christ. The retreat begins with a parent introduction, followed by kids staying overnight for learning and games, and ends with parents returning in the morning for a fun and meaningful closing activity. To register, go to: haumc.org/register.
It's been a while, so it's time for another Parent's Night Out! Get a babysitter and join other Hennepin parents and friends for drinks and lively conversation. February 8 from 7-9pm at Royal Foundry Craft Spirits, 241 Fremont Ave. N, Minneapolis. There are food trucks outside and food can also be delivered!
70%-90% of all boys will leave the Christian church and most won’t come back.
70% of all D’s and F’s go to boys, but only 40 % of the A’s.
Boys are four times as likely to be suspended or expelled from early childhood and K-12 environments than girls.
In the U.S., 85% of stimulant medications (like Ritalin) are prescribed to boys.
Over the last 20+ years, the reading skills of the average 17-year-old boy have declined.
Boys are farther behind girls in reading than girls are behind boys in science and math.
Boys are twice as likely as girls to be diagnosed with a behavioral or learning disorder.
This event will give parents, congregations, church leaders, community leaders, and educators discipleship principles, combined with brain science research and best practices, that will empower us to help boys thrive.
Let's come together and learn to be advocates for ALL of the children in our community! To register, go to:
