Module One:  Raising Responsible Kids

The Becoming a Love and Logic Parent® Curriculum is based on the Love and Logic® philosophy. The unique approach unlocks the secrets of successful parenting. Participants in will learn the specific "how-to's" of successful parenting, not just theoretical concepts. Love and Logic is a philosophy of raising and teaching children which allows adults to be happier, empowered, and more skilled in the interactions with children. Love allows children to grow through their mistakes. Logic allows children to live with the consequences of their choices.

Area residents young and old are helping to dress dolls for charity once again this season for United Bank of Michigan’s Dress the Dolls Program for North Kent Community Services (formerly the North Kent Service Center). This year, a group of homeschool students from Greenville Michigan Inclusive Connection for Home Learners contributed to the event, dressing 10 of approximately 100 dolls bought by the bank and picked up by volunteers to dress and return for children in need.

Each year the dressed dolls, many accompanied by elaborate sets and accessories, are on display at the bank for several weeks, allowing community members to vote on the best-dressed doll.

Thousands of families from all over Michigan visit Greenville this time of year to enjoy activity-packed fun at Klackle Orchards. Enchanted pumpkin carriage rides, pick-your-own apples and pumpkins, a petting zoo, mazes, pedal carts, tractors and trikes, coaster slide area, inflatables and more make it a family favorite for fall traditions year after year. Educational orchard tours are available to schools and homeschool groups, and they offer packages for birthday parties and other gatherings as well. On the weekend, you'll even find pony, camel and elephant rides at additional cost. Klackles on-site apple cider and apple donuts are also a hit for visitors.
