Children of Paradise…Successful Parenting for Prosperous Families
Successful parents want to give their children the best of everything yet they are often sadly disappointed with the results as they witness young adults who are poorly motivated, irresponsible, financially demanding and troubled. Parents are perplexed about how to deal with their success in order to be able to provide the right environment, opportunities and “coaching” so that their children will develop into emotionally healthy, competent, responsible adults. Unfortunately children don’t come with detailed instruction manuals and so it is necessary for each family to develop their unique strategic plan to achieve their desired results.
Children of Paradise provides the audience with specific action plans for dealing with these critical parenting challenges:
Building Strong Self Esteem
Establishing realistic expectations
Creating competency and confidence
Effective communication
Managing parenting time and energy effectively
Bratproofing
Financial parenting
Responsible wealth transfer strategies

Special Screening of “Screenagers” – Wednesday, April 5th at 7pm in the Banooni Auditorium
We are thrilled to present SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a documentary about the biggest parenting issue of our time.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that happening with her own kids and began a quest to uncover how it might impact their development. As with her other two award-winning documentaries on mental health, Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.
SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on-depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction. The film empowers kids to best navigate the digital world and provides practical resources to help them do it.
Film time: One hour 6 minutes
Appropriate for adults and kids 10 and older (however, many parents bring kids younger than 10 and are happy they did.)
If YOU love science and want to get our kids hooked on scientific learning, then you want to be part of this year’s Warner Science Slam! This year the Slam is the centerpiece of family activity for our 90th Anniversary – it’s “the Grand Slam”!! If you want to host an exhibit from any field of scientific endeavor, or if you know this is the annual event where you can’t wait to volunteer, please contact silverton.sarah@gmail.com. Event will be May 6 from 1-5 pm.

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you! Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far. Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint). All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity. The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now. And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing!
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
We have earned $2000 this year but have the potential to earn MUCH more!
Add the Warner Avenue HOME PAGE to your phone and use it! Once you click the Amazon logo from the warner website, it will take you directly to your Amazon app or account. See pictures below on how to set this up.
