The news coverage that the COVID-19, also known as Coronavirus, has been receiving has left a lot of parents fearful for their children’s well-being. While this virus does not currently have a cure there are some measures you can teach your children and other family members to help prevent the virus from spreading. Teach them the importance of hand hygiene, emphasize regularly washing their hands or applying hand sanitizer if hand washing isn't available. Emphasize the importance, or at the very least attempt to reduce the amount of times they touch their faces, nose, ears, eyes, and mouth, as these are some of the ways for a virus to infect a body. Opening doors in public places with the hem’s of their shirts is always a good habit to teach your children, this helps your child avoid touching a surface that could be directly contaminated with a virus. Most importantly, if you can, please stay at home to help flatten the curve and listen to the advice and warnings issued by your local government and the CDC.

"Parents need to remember that children are great observers and imitators. When they see their parents consistently face difficult decisions and circumstances with courage, calm, prayer, and trust in God, they become grounded and develop coping mechanisms for the challenges they will face. Instilling God-Confidence in our children is one of the best gifts we can possibly give them. We are called to be imitators of God (Ephesians 5: 1-2). Let us model humility, obedience, honesty, patience, kindness, and repentance for our children and live in a manner worthy of the Gospel of Christ."
- Dominique and Bill Holbrook

Here's what others are saying about our Parenting on Purpose Series
"This is definitely a class that every person in life should take at least 3 times to help prepare them to raise the next generation of leaders even if they do not have children themselves. I learned more in the last 9 weeks than I did in my 6 years of high school."
"I found it gave me another way to inspire, to motivate my children to empower them to be financially sound, to think on there own and most of all spiritual and independent of me."
"The POP was an amazing way to build relationships with other single parents while learning practical strategies to raise my teenage sons. I wish I had learned these principles when my children were much younger but will work with what I currently have."
"The POP sessions provided the skills I needed to parent myself which will now allow me to be a better parent to my child."
