ARPC Parents for Life event sign-up

Dear Parents

Every child is different in personality, and responses differently to situations.   

One of the key components in successful parenting is communication.  

As they grow older, this process of communication becomes more complex. 

Thus, we are constantly finding ways to effectively communicate with our children.   

So we hope that your family will have a fun time of learning about communication through this cooking session, and kickstart your family's journey of communicating with love & respect. 

Sign up now at http://lovenrespect19nov.eventbrite.sg/ Early Birds prizes to be won!
