The Parenting class that we have is a compilation of two courses:

1.      How to be a Responsible Father/Mother – Stawar

2.      Active Parenting Now – Popkin (video-based/instructor/active participation)

More about the class – We will be having a speaker this year who will incorporate children’s first-aid and CPR.  We also have a partnership with Hachette Books.  They supply the following age-appropriate books to give to the graduates of the class for their children.

• • • Active Parenting
    • Child Development (The majority of the children are in the 5 – 12 age group.)
    • Family Communications
    • Winning Cooperation
    • Responsibility and Discipline
    • Understanding and Redirecting Misbehavior
    • Building Courage, Character, and Self-Esteem
    • The Active Family Now
    • The importance of reading to children
    • Articles dealing with various topics such as tantrums, honesty, teaching resilience, raising a kid who cares, working with lying, hyperactive vs. high energy kids, raising a good citizen, and more.

We are flexible enough to add a few other topics as well, as needed by our students.
