Parenting Children Class

Millions of parents have achieved success with the programs we have selected.

This internationally-acclaimed parenting skills education program, created by parenting expert Michael H. Popkin, Ph.D., is video and discussion based and focuses on

Parenting Children 2 through 12 years of age.

Dr. Popkin's programs have become the programs of choice for thousands of schools, social service and mental health organizations, churches, synagogues, hospitals, corporations, government organizations and more.

These classes use entertaining yet meaningful video to help parents realize that everyone faces similar problems when it comes to parenting. Presented with humor and empathy, each scene that presents a problem also offers a solution. In class video vignettes, Parent’s Guides, lecture, and discussion are combined with homework so parents can continue to learn between classes.

All the courses we have chosen present parents with knowledge of how good communication, cooperation, responsibility, and self-esteem develop in children and teens. Parents also learn about "positive" discipline verses those all-too-familiar power struggles. Each course differs, however, in the ways they are specialized to the specific developmental needs of children of different ages.

Here’s what you’ll be learning:

	Session I: - Styles of parenting - “Method of choice” technique
	Session II: - Building courage and self-esteem
	Session III: - Why children misbehave - Techniques for avoiding “paying off” misbehavior
	Session IV: - Effective discipline skills - “I” messages - Natural and logical consequences - Mutual respect
	Session V: - Effective communication skills - Avoiding communication blocks
	Session VI: - How to hold family meetings - Problem-solving in groups - Saying “no” to drugs
