LEARN MORE ABOUT PARENT TRAINING

EFFECTIVE PARENTING WORKSHOPS

Our workshops are based on Systematic Training for Effective Parenting, the most widely used parenting education program in the country. Improving parent-child relationships is the focus of small-group discussions between parents of similar aged children. Workshop leaders help parents to learn simple, effective parenting skills. This program also fosters mutual respect between parent and child, increased cooperation, more effective communication, and a more responsible, self-reliant attitude among children.

WORKSHOP GOALS are to help sharpen parent skills so that they can: raise children who are happy, healthy, confident and cooperative; form strong, life-long family relationships; to help children grow into responsible adults; and develop loving and lovable children.

TOPICS TO BE COVERED include: understanding the meaning of your child's behavior and how to respond to it; encouraging your child as a way of building self-esteem; communicating effectively with your child; helping children cooperate and problem solve; learning discipline that makes sense and works to instill self-discipline.
