Parenting Classes: 2011

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

Have you noticed that some children can be so manipulative these days?  (Not yours, of course.)   Or that kids are getting into more risky behavior and enjoying it less?  (Ahh, those rascally daredevils.) Or is it possible that you know a child who is depressed, but it looks more like anger much of the time?  Do you worry that your child may have some OCD issues or do you have concerns that your child may be doing something to self-harm, such as cutting or making suicide threats? 

 

And yet we love them.

 

There is help – with tools and principles for effective change to help kids survive the crush of pressures from peers, media, and everything in between.

 

Parenting classes will be beginning soon at the Marysville location. 

 

Remember, skills learned in these classes transfer over to any relational dynamic, so these are helpful for dealing with co-workers and CEO’s, faithful partners, (read that “your better half”), nurses, doctors, police officers, you name it!  The butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker!

 

We completed a ten-week series of the Developing Capable Young People video series and material combined with material and exercises from Positive Discipline in December. 

 

The coming seven-week series of Positive Discipline classes will be two hours long and will provide the Positive Discipline by Jane Nelsen, twenty-five year anniversary (third) edition, most up-to-date to include cell phones and social websites. 

 

Please call, text, or email if you’re interested.  We are planning to begin Sundays 2:30pm-4:30pm, and will go for 7 weeks.  Because of holidays, the end date will be determined at the first class by group consensus.  Classes are still a steal at $100, $150 for a couple.  As always, if finances are an issue, call and see if partial/whole scholarships are still available.
