Two free, online Active Parenting courses will be offered in October and November through the North Dakota State University Extension Service.
"Active Parenting Ages 5-12" will be held Mondays from Oct. 26-Nov. 23 from 6-7:30 p.m.
Explore positive discipline and communication techniques that will strengthen the parent-child relationship. This interactive program addresses situations and challenges that are expected when parenting 5-12 year old children.
"Active Parenting: Crossroads of Parenting & Divorce will be held Tuesday evenings from Oct. 27-Nov. 24 from 6-7:30 p.m.
This five-step seminar is 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. This class will help parents become aware of how their actions may inadvertently harm their children, show how to establish positive post-divorce/separation, co-parenting relationships and provide them with the skills they need to stay child-focused while minimizing poor choices amidst conflict and loss.
For registration information for either course, contact Holly Arnold with the North Central Parent & Family Resource Center at the NDSU Extension Service-Ward County at holly.arnold@ndsu.edu or 857-6450.
