“PARENTING: THE SIKHI WAY”

Sharing Good Practice

Saturday 21st May 2011 1.00pm – 6.00pm

Venue: West Midlands

For most parents life is a daily struggle to balance work and family commitments, whilst at the same time trying to practice and learn more about Sikhi. With the frantic pace of modern life it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the time to juggle everything.

Whether amritdhari or not, most of us will have asked ourselves:

“are we bringing up our kids the right way?”

“what should we be teaching them about Sikhi?”

“where can we take them to learn more about Sikhi?”

“how can we make time to do more as a family?”

None of us are experts, and none of us have all the answers. This event is an opportunity to share ideas, approaches and experiences with other like minded Sikh parents.

We aim to:

- reflect upon the values at the core of family life,

- compile a ‘mission statement’ for the family,

- draw up an ‘action plan’ to integrate Sikhi into the family’s daily routine,

- share practical tips on how to make the family more Sikhi focussed

If you are interested in attending please go to www.boss-uk.org and submit your application on-line. Places are strictly limited so it will be first come first served.

We would strongly encourage both parents to attend in order to get the most out of the day for your family. If you cannot make alternative childminding arrangements, we can look after children over the age of 4 at the venue whilst you participate in the event.
