| Resources which we provide to parents |
| Why the loose leaf format of Growing Up Catholic is so vital to your success Growing Up Catholic arrives at your door on CDs full of helpful resources, all connected to this web site. You print however much of the materials you need. It prints in either color or black and white. The loose leaf format is a vital element to insure your success. Here's why Parents cannot attend every prep session. They often miss, due to the circumstances of daily life. When they do, you send home the resource for that lesson only. If you send home a book, they (1) can't find their way through it, (2) often misplace it, and (3) don't see the session-to-session flow of the preparation process. Many families have parents that don't live in the same home but are still involved with their children's education and faith formation process. With a loose leaf format, you can provide both parents (even when they're divorced or separated) with the resource so both can take a role in preparing their children. Children need to handle, color, and write on the resource. With books, at the high prices usually being charged for them, you are reluctant as a parish leader to allow the kids to do this. But if children only read the text, it remains cognitive - a sort of head trip which is easily forgotten and this isn't real formation. BUT, when they mark it up, color it, and really use it, they can integrate it. And more importantly, when they do this with their parents they are really formed in the faith. It's the only real possible way to form kids. |
