Parent Education for the General Public
Each series of parent education classes run for five consecutive weeks.
Classes meet once a week for two hours. The Facilitator is available before
and after class for one on one discussion.
The five subject areas discussed come from researched parenting curriculums
and include:
- Week one: IALAC (I Am Loveable And Capable) and encouragement
- Week two: Focus on "do's" instead of "don'ts"
- Week three: Choices and working with children instead of against them
- Week four: Give children safe limits and self-control
- Week five: Setting good examples and respecting feelings
These parenting classes are open to everyone in the general public and
are at this time without cost.
