Parenting Teens with Positive Discipline -
6-week class

Are you and your teen(s) seeing the world differently?
Would you like to:
 
- Improve communication?
- Increase accountability and integrity?
- Help them learn from their mistakes and provide a path to recover from mistakes? 

This 6-week class provides tools for parents that teach youth valuable social and life skills. It differs from a general Positive Discipline Parenting class in its focus on adolescent brain development. We provide parents with the understanding and resources for effective parenting through the teen years. This 6-week Parenting Teens with Positive Discipline series provides parents with tools and skills to strike an important balance between being kind and firm in a fun, relaxing and supportive atmosphere.
This class is open to parents of middle and high school aged youth (11+).
Tuesdays, Mar 26 - May 7 (skip Apr 9), 6:30-9:00 pm. Greenwood Senior Center, Seattle. Please register by March 18.
