Dale & Janet Anthony

Dale & Janet AnthonyDale and Janet have been surrounded by children in one way or another for over 35 years…and enjoyed it. They added to their own three biological children by adopting two out of foster care. As therapeutic foster parents, they parented 27 children over a period of 6 years, receiving training for severe behavior and anger management, dealing with learning disabilities and helping kids and families work on their relationships. Janet served as children’s director at her church for 10 years and currently works with KidZ at Heart International, teaching leaders how to effectively teach kids according to their developmental skills and their learning styles. Dale teaches elementary children at church, has worked as a school aide and currently works at Mount Vernon Developmental Center. Their free time is spent enjoying their eight grandchildren who give them more opportunities to keep their parenting skills sharp.

 

“Without discipline, children lack the tools necessary to navigate relationships and challenges in life such as:

  • Self-discipline
  • Respect for others
  • The ability to cooperate with peers”
