“I Never Planned to Yell So Much!” - Empowering with Effective Discipline Techniques
FREE parenting class offered through PISD
The challenges and stresses of parenting often come as a surprise and we find ourselves reacting in ways we never anticipated. Stop relying on yelling or punishment: there ARE tactics that will influence our children’s behavior – that work! Join a dynamic Family Education and Guidance facilitator as we discuss how to calmly foster cooperation through setting limits and finding appropriate consequences.
