As parents, it is vital to understand the uniqueness of how God created each of your children. Each of them will have a different personality and different gifts from God.

Knowing how to meet these needs in a manner that will help them learn and grow in healthy, godly ways is critical to your parenting.

Then bring the supplies home and have some fun in these last hot days of summer using them to teach your kids about God.
