The workshops will address a wide range of topics, including:

• March 4: The Power of Positive Parenting.

• March 18: Raising Confident, Competent Children.

• April 8: Developing Good Bedtime Routines.

• April 15: Hassle-Free Mealtimes with Children.

• April 22: Managing Fighting & Aggression.

• April 29: Dealing with Disobedience.

Parents who want to learn positive parenting strategies are encouraged to attend an in-person group course at 5 p.m. Thursdays, March 13-April 3.

For those who need personalized assistance, one-on-one coaching with experienced parenting skills educators is available by appointment.

“The Triple P workshops and classes will give parents, caregivers and educators simple and practical strategies to help build strong, healthy relationships, confidently manage children’s behavior and reduce stress,” said Deborah Berry-Toon, executive director of Project Self-Sufficiency.
