Clarkstown Parents: Hone Your Skills With this 6-Week Class

The Mental Health Association of Rockland County will begin a 6-week Patient Parenting class March 12 to help people enhance their parenting skills and techniques.

Its organizers promise it is a practical, skill-based parenting program that can be applied to every family.

Continuing to learn new skills and strategies is a fundamental part of good parenting.
