Active Parenting of Teens Program to Begin 8/4/20

If you were faced with the responsibility for designing and building a home, would you consult a builder? Before piloting a plane, would you want to take flying lessons? Would you seek medical training before attempting heart surgery?

If the answers seem obvious to you, consider this: Should your skills as a parent be learned only through “trial and error”?

All the love we have for our children does not automatically make us effective parents. Parenting, like any other skill, is something we learn, and learning “on the job” can be frustrating. As parents we become confused when, after constant repetition of the same theme, children still do not respond. “Active Parenting” is perhaps the most effective program ever offered in the “how to” of raising children.

YES Community Counseling Center, Massapequa Takes Action Coalition and Levittown Community Action Coalition will be conducting an Active Parenting of Teens program for parents with of teenage children (ages 12-17) virtually on Zoom, beginning Tuesday, August 4 from 7:00pm – 8:30pm for six consecutive weeks. The cost of the program is $75 per family and includes a workbook.
