By MDN STAFF 1 min read

Two Active Parenting classes will be offered online beginning in August.

Active Parenting: Ages 5-12 will be held Monday evenings between Aug. 10-31 and on Sept. 14 from 6-7:30 p.m.

Explore positive discipline and communication techniques that will strengthen your relationship with your child. The interactive program addresses situations and challenges that are expected when parenting a 5-12-year-old child.

Active Parenting: Crossroads of Parenting & Divorce will be held Tuesday evenings from Aug. 11-25 and on Sept. 8 from 6-7:30 p.m.

The program is a five-step seminar designed to prevent divorce abuse, a specific type of emotional abuse that divorcing/separating parents cause when, in anger and bitterness they lose sight of their child's needs. The class will help parents become aware of how their actions may inadvertently harm their children, show to establish positive post-divorce/separation, co-parenting relationships and provide them with the skills needed to stay child-focused while minimizing poor choices amid conflict and loss.

Both class series are free. For registration or other information, contact Holly Arnold with North Dakota State University Extension Ward County at holly.arnold@ndsu.edu.

Starting at /week.
