What will I be learning?

• Child Development
  This class will review the impact parents have on their children’s physical, cognitive, and emotional development.
• Communication & Building Self-Esteem
  The purpose of this class is to help parents learn effective communication skills to build a stronger and healthier relationship with their children and will explain the parent’s role in the foundation of personal values.
• Consequences vs. Discipline
  This class teaches parents how to use consequences as a means to encourage children and use teachable moments to build healthy parent-child relationships.
• Co-parenting
  This class covers what a co-parenting relationship is and is not, how to communicate in a co-parenting relationship including active listening, restructuring ways of decision-making, what children need to hear and do not need to hear, how to get along with the other parent and setting boundaries with the other parent, parenting plans for joint decision-making and problem-solving, and what to do if the other parent won’t co-parent. The class also covers how to co-parent with an ex, a step-parent to the children, and with other family members.

After you attend all 4 classes in the series, you will receive a “graduation” certificate. This certificate can be given to the referring agency as proof of completion. We can also submit status letters.

All 4 classes are required for the certificate. If you miss a class, you may take just that class the next time the
program is offered. Call and register before the next session starts to guarantee a spot in the class you need.

Each series of classes is offered over four consecutive Tuesday evenings at the Midland office. Free childcare is available for children two years and older, depending on the need.
