Program Description
This group series, provided in Spanish, gives parents effective tools to deal with the day-to-day issues of raising children. Parents, grandparents, and other caregivers meet with professional parenting educators to discuss common parenting challenges like communication, listening skills, family bonding, child development, family safety, literacy, family dynamics, discipline, and temperament. Parents are also encouraged to bring up topics they want to learn about such as overcoming language and cultural barriers, bullying, and school success.
In addition to gaining new insights into your child(ren)s behavior, you will learn a variety of effective parenting methods that help you establish routines, set rules and limits, communicate clearly, and enforce consequences. You can expect to feel supported by the parenting educator and other group members, as you develop new skills.
