Parent Workshop Topics

Parent education workshops provide parents with information on specific topics related to child development, parenting, and family living. Parenting workshops offer parents a combination of support, education, resources and incentives to become more knowledgeable about their child’s development and parenting. All workshops are informative, lively, and interactive in which parents take an active role in learning. Workshops provide parents with opportunities to share their parenting experiences and allow for parents to hear other parents’ perspectives. Workshops are designed to present parents with information supported by current research and help parents learn new skills necessary for raising healthy, responsible, resilient, confident, and well-balanced children.
