The Catholic church teaches that parents are a child’s first and foremost catechist. To affirm and support parents in this roll, Growing with GOD includes parent resources as an integral part of this program.
This concise, one-page handout summarizes what students learn in class, ensuring that parents are kept informed about what their children are learning and preparing them for any questions that may arise as a result of the lesson.
These 4–page guides extend the lesson and can also be used for home-based instruction. They include an overview, Church teachings on the lesson content, a 3–Minute Retreat for parents, tips from other parents, vocabulary words, scripting, a prayer for parents and children to pray together, and access to a lesson review. These guides are available in both English and Spanish.
