I know there are quite a few requests for classes for parents of teens. Love and Logic and Positive Discipline are classes that work for parents with children of all ages. I am also in the works of setting up a class for parents of teen specifically. Please keep an eye on your email for that information.
Even more classes can be found on the NDSU Extension Parent Education website: https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension/programs/parent-education
Open Communication
behavioral health. Whether it’s everyday topics like friends and school, or more serious topics like substance use, anxiety, or depression, it’s never too early to start the conversation. As your kids grow, your conversations may change, but they will always be centered on keeping them happy, healthy, and safe. Keep your conversations relaxed, friendly, non-judgmental, and genuine. And most importantly, be a good listener. What should I say? Visit www.parentslead.org for more information.
