Step into the world of an eight year old island girl; from climbing up mango trees and eating coconuts, the enjoyment never ends on her tiny island. Island girl takes you on an escape to experience island life and what it is like growing up in the Caribbean. You will experience the culture and the lifestyle so authentic you would believe you're running along with Tina and her friends as they enjoy their little space in the sea, sand and sun. In “Island Girl”, Tina is upset that her best friend Billy won’t be able to play with her today because he has to go to summer school. Tina feels she has no one else to play with because all the other kids play games she doesn’t like. But being a tomboy, Tina knows there is no way she can stay inside all day until Billy gets home later in the afternoon. So with encouragement from her mummy, Tina sought out the “other girls” to play with. Tina will quickly learn, that even though she and the “other girls” don’t like playing the same games that they all have a lot in common which they will all teach each other. |

Parenting on Purpose
Support Sessions
Cleft of the Rock Foundation, Inc. has officially started our Parenting on Purpose Support Sessions. If you have completed the Parenting on Purpose video series we invite you to participate. We are committed to supporting each family we encounter. We recognize that in these times, as parents, it’s incredibly difficult to plan ahead or fit self-improvement into our already jam-packed schedules. From commutes to our destinations, extra-curricular activities, work and/or overtime, or a million other time-consumers, it can seem impossible to keep your head above water, much less commit to getting somewhere. Even if you will leave that somewhere fulfilled, refreshed, and better equipped to parent deliberately. The good news is, we can schedule time for a Parenting On Purpose Support Session (POPS), led by Brenda Williams, a wise and amazing mother and grandmother who is committed to growing families. Reply to this email to schedule your session today.
