Top 10 Parenting Tips
Does “Good Parenting” Really Exist?
Good parenting does exist, but it is, unfortunately, not the norm.
Normally, well-meaning parents struggle with their children's common behavior

Top Online School Matching Service
The Well - a time for refreshment & encouragement for Single Moms in the East Tennessee Area.
There are over 10,000 single moms in Knoxville alone. Many are hurting and
struggling to make ends meet both financially and emotionally. The Well is an
opportunity to come and relax, to not worry about making dinner, and to meet
ladies who know what they are going through and be mentored by ladies that have
successfully made it through the storm. The Well meets one Friday night a month
(usually 11 months each year, we take Dec. off). Dinner and childcare are
provided at no cost. Children have dinner, activities, movie time and playground
time in a safe, well supervised environment. The moms have dinner and then a
time of sharing and teaching. Childcare & dinner begins at 6:00pm, and the mom’s
dinner begins at 6:20. We do ask for reservations as our group is growing each
month and we want to be sure to have enough food! Call (865) 966-9791 to register for The Well and visit www.fbconcord.org/thewell for upcoming dates.
