Looking to strengthen your parenting skills and create a happier, healthier family? LACASA’s parenting classes, starting this month, offer practical advice, support, and community.
The Nurturing Parenting Program begins Jan. 13, and is for parents of newborns to 11-year-olds. This nationally recognized program teaches attendees about empathy, appropriate expectations, positive discipline, and more as they navigate the early years of parenthood.
Parenting 2.0: Surviving the Teen Years is a series specially designed to help parents navigate the teenage years, ages 11-17. This course specializes in teaching parents about teen development, various parenting styles, negotiating skills, and other topics relating to teen maturation. Parenting 2.0: Surviving the Teen Years begins Jan. 21.
“These courses are a cornerstone of the work we do to promote healthy families and prevent child abuse and neglect,” said LACASA President and CEO Bobette Schrandt, “By providing parents with essential skills and support, we can empower them to create safe, nurturing environments for their children.”
Both the Nurturing Parenting Program and Parenting 2.0: Surviving the Teen Years are eight-week courses held at LACASA Center, 1920 Tooley Road, Howell. The cost for each program is $150 for one parent and $175 for both parents; this cost covers materials needed for the respective course.
To register for either course, contact Jan Lobur, LACASA’s parenting educator, via email at janl@lacasacenter.org.
