Parenting Wisely
Parenting Wisely is a nationally implemented workshop designed for parents of pre-teens and teenagers. It consists of three 90-minute sessions and has been proven to increase parent-child communication, improve conflict management within families, and increase family bonding. Some of the issues addressed by the program include:
- Parent/child communication skills
- Problem solving skills
- Assertive discipline
- Appropriate supervision of children who are spending time with peers who are a negative influence
- Achieving chore and homework compliance while keeping the family peace
- Societal pressure
- Peer pressure
Parenting Wisely is offered locally throughout the year by Downingtown Area Communities That Care. The workshop is free of charge, but advance registration is required, as space is limited to 20 participants.
