Ken's Story
When Ken became a father at age 52, he knew he had a lot of catching up to do.
When unexpected life challenges—legal woes, a home lost to a fire, a family member suffering from cancer, and a child with behavioral problems—added to Ken’s daily stresses of parenting, he knew that his family needed support.
“We had a lot to learn,” Ken shares about his and his wife Darlene’s late entry into parenthood. “I began taking a proactive stance when it came to my family.”
Ken’s determination to strengthen his family led him to take a Love & Logic class at Bethel Family Support Center in Spanaway, a Children’s Trust Foundation-funded program.
“I had taken parenting classes before, but they paled in comparison to this one,” confesses Ken. "This has been the best thing that ever happened to me. It’s all about protection,” Ken simplifies.
"There is so much abuse going on today, mainly out of pure ignorance. Thanks to this class, I have learned how to parent.”
