Parents' Classes
Discipline means to teach. Come and join the Parenting Class. It is a chance for parents to get re-energized, learn that they are not alone, do problem-solving, and learn positive ways to discipline their children. The class is an eight week course. Lessons will be taught through a variety of mediums which include videos, activities, handouts and group discussions. Eight topics are discussed during the course: Healthy Families, Self-Esteem, Communication, Anger and Stress Management, Sexuality, Discipline I, II & III. Each class runs for 1 ½ hours. Nursery care is available for children 11 and under at no charge. The course fee is $20.00 per individual or $25.00 per couple. Participants will receive a binder with all the handouts given throughout the class, and this will become their own parenting manual. If you would like to learn more and join other parents in similar situations, call the Center at (435) 752-8880 to register. Then, come and have fun!
