Families First Parenting Workshops
Our workshops focus on practical parenting and skill building to help parents gain tools in effective parenting. Your child does NOT need to attend one of the schools for you to participate. Childcare Providers are also encouraged to participate. Visit the Families First website for more info. Registration required:
Young Kids, Behavior and Development
Sep 29 at Lewis & Clark Elementary School
I am a parent, now what? It seems logical to think that when our children are born that we will know everything we need to know about parenting. But the truth is that no one is born a parent. We learn how to be one. In this class, you will learn about children’s development and details about becoming the parent you want to be.
Learning Disabilities, Thriving at School
Oct 7 at Chief Charlo Elementary School
Although life with your child may at times seem challenging, it is important to remember that children with learning disabilities symptoms can and do succeed. As a parent, you can help create home and school environments that improve your child’s chances for success. In this class, learn strategies for coping with symptoms that help improve your child’s life and the harmony of your entire family.
Communicate So They Will Hear
Oct 22 at Russell Elementary School
Are you wondering what happened to that sweet child of yours? Why is it so hard to talk to your teenager? In this class, you will learn about what is underneath parents’ and adolescents’ communication and how to unveil great results just by discovering skills you already have and learning a few more to create connection, collaboration and healthy communication with your teenager.
Helping Kids Manage Emotions
Nov 5 at Chief Charlo Elementary School
Children are not born knowing how to express or deal with their emotions. Sometimes behavior can tell us more than we think about how they feel. In this class you will learn how to identify emotions behind your child’s behavior and help them manage them by connecting and developing new skills.
