Active Parenting
Active Parenting is an evidence-based parenting program available for parents of children 5-12 years old and for parents of tweens and teens 13-18 years old. Over a series of six workshops parents develop skills that reduce the power struggle and enhance family communication.
Parents work together to understand what it means to use an active parenting style with positive discipline, practice having difficult conversations about risky behaviors including drugs and alcohol, learn to teach responsibility and independent decision making, and identify how to support academic success. Active Parenting is a proven approach to parenting utilizing sessions packed with activities, discussion, real-world examples, and feedback to develop indispensable techniques and insights for overcoming obstacles.Contact Courtney Gifford [email protected] for more information about this program or to join a class.
