THE Art of OPPORTUNITY PARENTING:
WHAT IS IT?
Making the most of every opportunity to Reach, Teach & Nurture your child. Our children are a gift we will give to a time we will not see. Parents are the guides. God is our ultimate example of a loving, caring, forgiving and encouraging parent.
This video curriculum teaches parents to respond to their children's mistakes and rebellion in the same way God responds to ours as parents. He never yells, always encourages, never abandons and always loves.
Parents learn that the home is a place for practice not perfection. A place where children, who hear best with their eyes, long to see first hand, how a Godly home is supposed to work.
Bill Sanders puts himself on the level of the parents in his audience. His sincerity and willingness to share in his mistakes as a parent give hope and encouragement to even the most struggling or heartbroken parents.
"I will try to walk a blameless path, but how I need your help, especially in my own home where I long to act as I should." Psalms 101:2

OPPORTUNITY PARENTING MATERIALS USED IN EACH CLASS
- 3 VHS videos
9 sessions - approximately 30 minutes each. LIVE! 300 parents in audience!
- "Seize the Moment, Not Your Teen" book
This book is the backbone for the Opportunity Parenting video series. Parents watching each of the 9 - 30 minute video sessions are encouraged to read the accompanying chapter in the book after each session. During the live video session, Bill Sanders gives practical examples of how to put that lesson to work in your life. The book is filled with even more ways to insure that the lesson becomes a habit that helps parents act in an encouraging, godly way.
The book also contains Values Rein forcers (15 steps to insure your children grab hold of - and live out your values. Also "How to be ready to seize the moment. 10 different skills that will prepare parents to stay strong and encouraged each day as they look for ways to make the best of every parenting opportunity that comes their way.)
Zig Ziglar says this about "Seize the Moment, Not Your Teen," "Beautiful blend of love and logic… gives beautiful insights into dealing with our kids during their most challenging years. Scripturally sound and lovingly written."
- "Session Workbook"
A CD of the 32 page workbook is included. Make as many copies as you wish
for free with all rights granted.
Every participant watching the Art of Opportunity Parenting video series needs this 30 page, fill-in workbook. They fill in the blanks as the video is playing.
Each session has a powerful verse that encompasses the meaning and goal of the lesson. The verse for the series is "I will try and walk a blameless path, but how I need your help, especially in my own home where I long to act as I should." Psalm 101:2
The fill-ins help lock in the powerful points and the "What About You?" section is where each parent personalizes what they have just learned.
*A single parent needs a session workbook and a "Seize the Moment, Not Your Teen" book. A couple taking the course together should each have their own session workbook, but can share a "Seize the Moment" book.
- Leaders Guide:
A 44-page all-inclusive leaders guide. The person leading the video series need not be a gifted orator. Bill Sanders has poured his heart and 29 years of experience in speaking to parents into the guide. He explains everything from materials needed, leader preparation each week before class, class structure, keys to a successful class, and confidence builders. He even tells you exactly when to push the start button on the VCR. All of the students' workbooks are included and highlighted in blue so this is all you will need to successfully lead parents to a more rewarding experience with their families.
