Parents of SFAS added a verse each class session throughout December.
The combined efforts of multiple class created this remake to spark laughter, share the joys and stresses of parenting during the holidays while also creating community between the different class sessions offered through Early Childhood Family Education.
I want to thank each of the parents for participating in this fun activity as we enter winter break. My you all be reminded of Self-Care and 20 Things to Do with Your Children in Winter.
If your family or group of friends decides they would like to get together and sing The Twelve Days of Parenting please share a video clip with us so we can enjoy.
If you were a part of creating this song and would like to share a comment below about your experience in this project I would love to hear from you.
Enjoy this season of parenting. As we know the days can be long but the years are oh so very short. You really only have one day, make it a good one!
