Welcome to Class One!
I hope you’re ready to hit the ground running, because there is a LOT of material that we’ll cover in the next few weeks. It’s likely that you’ll feel like you’ve just barely gotten the hang of one week’s lesson before I’ll barrage you with a whole new set of ideas. Don’t worry! Now that you’ve signed up for the Tele-Class, you will always have access to this members-only part of the website, with the text and the videos.
If you haven’t had a chance to read the pre-class reading of The Big Idea, read it first if you have the time. Then do the Class 1 Main Reading, “Transform No into Yes.” Try to do the Main Reading before the call if you can, but if you can’t, you can always do it afterward. Even if you haven’t had a chance to read, you should still make the calls live, if you can. The extra readings are for you to do over the course of the week, as you work with the ideas in the Main Reading.
Finally, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, please pace yourself. I like to put in lots of resources so that you can come back again and again to get new ideas, so please don’t feel like you need to do everything at once. Make listening to the calls your first priority, and reading the week’s Main Reading your second priority. Everything else is gravy and can wait until you have more time or the issue feels more urgent. Even if life gets busy and you miss a whole week or more, then jump back in and rejoin us wherever we’re at; don’t try to “catch up.” You are not behind!
Know that I am here to support you in your parenting journey. Please ask your questions in each week’s discussion space. Don’t worry if everyone else is giving glowing reports and you’re feeling like it’s all a disaster (or vice-versa). Share what’s feeling real for you right now. If what you’re going through is beyond the scope of this class or you’d just like a little extra support, I am absolutely available for additional calls and you will get them for half-price for the duration of the Tele-Class.
That’s it for now! Your next step is to to the Main Reading for this week, and then I can’t wait to talk to you live, on Sunday!
Warmly, Faith
