Canandaigua, NY – It takes a lot of skills to be a good parent, but there are some skills that will really make a difference in how well an adult raises their children. If you are a parent or know of a parent who is struggling to understand what works and what does not with child-rearing, there is a good opportunity coming up in Geneva starting on March 8th, 2022.
Cornell Cooperative Extension is hosting its next Parenting Skills Workshop Series in the Spring of 2022. The instructors will teach participants five skills that can help parents deal more effectively with difficult parent-child situations. The skills are Encouragement, Can-Do, Choices, Self-Control, and Respecting Feelings. Participants will be able to practice their skills during the classes and reinforce the new techniques at home.
The Parenting Skills Workshop Series is designed specifically for parents struggling with today’s complex parenting issues. Childcare will be available for young children ages 6 months to age 12 years. The program will be held at Jim Dooley Center for Early Learning, Geneva, NY 14456.
