For Other Caring Adults

All Adults Can Make a Difference in Kids’ Lives

Just because you’re not a parent or a teacher doesn’t mean that you can’t have a positive effect on a child’s life. Maybe you’re an aunt or uncle, a youth pastor, or a babysitter. Or maybe you just care about kids. No matter how you interact with children, MVParents is here to help you make that interaction positive and beneficial.
