Plan for parenting class
Parenting can be a challenge, but Franklin County Community Education is hoping to reduce the pressure with a Together We Can Parent educational series.
With an aim to “create a healthy future for our family” the parenting class is designed for married or non-married people raising a child together; single parents; other support people helping to raise a child; expectant parents; or anyone with an interest in the lesson topic. The certificate is good for foster/house parents, childcare providers or anyone needing general education hours.
Classes are set for Feb. 28 and March 7, 14 and 21 from 5-7 p.m. at the Belgreen High School library, 14220 Highway 187. Topics will include:
Feb. 28: building a strong family, goal setting and ages/stages of development (safety and resources)
March 7: discipline and communication skills (Internet safety and bullying)
March 14: healthy relationships, stepfamilies and co-parenting
March 21: stress and conflict management (grief/dealing with loss)
Instructor will be Melanie Allen, regional Extension agent for family and child development.
