Parenting
Introduction
Participation in these classes is a mutual endeavor to which the facilitator contributes knowledge and skills in parenting to which you, the participant, bring specialized personal knowledge and a commitment to work on your own problems. The goals of our parenting class include but are not limited to increasing communication and stress management skills, and practicing emotional intelligence. General goals include promoting a greater unconditional love for your child, motivations, behavior and interactions with family members. This awareness and understanding will hopefully promote clarification of personal goals, family values and priorities and enable you to cope with family situations in a more directed and fulfilling manner. The results of participating in this program are not guaranteed. Your participation may lead to results that were not originally intended.
