<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The Blind Parents Group of the National Federation of the
Blind of Pennsylvania is continuing their discussion series of the Habits of
Highly Effective Families. It is a discussion based on the book by Stephen
Covey, <i>"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families: Building a Beautiful
Family Culture in a Turbulent World."</i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">You can find the book in BARD mobile, Audible, Kindle, and
Apple books. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">This month, we are focusing on Habit 4 & 5: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>Habit 4: Think Win-Win</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Have an “everyone can win” attitude within your family.
Embrace an attitude of abundance and search for third alternatives so that
everyone feels valued.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><b>Habit 5: Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The deepest need of each family member is to be understood,
for understanding affirms the intrinsic worth of another. Not seeking to
understand leads to judgement, rejection and manipulation. Empathic listening
opens the doors to real bonding.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Whether you are a blind parent, a parent of blind children,
a prospective parent, or a supporter of any kind, we hope you can attend!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">You do not have to read the book to come and participate!
Our facilitators will review the book as well as have reflection questions!
Just come with an open mind and an open heart!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">You do not have to live in Pennsylvania to join our meeting.
Parenting has no geographical barriers so we do not think our meetings should
either!</p>
