Are you tired of having to ask your child three times to do something? Have you ever asked your child not to do something and then he or she did it? Has your child ever made you upset, you forgot what you really wanted to talk about? Have you ever wanted to learn how to praise your child more? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, Common Sense Parenting can help.
Common Sense Parenting is a product of years of research compiled by Girls and Boys Town, Nebraska. This program is a proven, step-by-step guide for raising responsible kids and building happy families. It teaches skills to help parents build better families.
The Yankton Women’s/Children’s Center offers Common Sense Parenting to help parents make their homes more peaceful, enjoyable and safe for the whole family.
You will learn how to:
• reduce family stress
• support success in School
• enrich your relationship with your child
• reduce problem behavior
• diminish yelling and fighting
• increase your confidence as well as your child’s confidence
Whether you are a parent who wants to “brush up” on your parenting skills, an excited “rookie” with your first child, or an exasperated parent with a rebellious or difficult adolescent, Common Sense Parenting can help.
Classes are scheduled to begin Monday, Jan. 7, and will run through Monday, Feb. 11, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The classes will be held at the Tripp Emergency Service Building. A light meal will be provided through the Horizon Grant.
