Parent Education Classes Coming This October

A new Parent Education series starts this month! On Monday evenings from October 5th-December 21st Joyce LaMar, Parent Education Program Manager, will be teaching positive parenting skills at Park Boulevard Presbyterian Church in Oakland. The Parent Education Program helps caregivers focus on their strengths in order to establish healthy attachments with their children, respect the uniqueness of each child, and develop clear communication skills within the family. Another important facet of the class is its focus on positive discipline techniques, which help parents effectively manage children's behavior while also nurturing self-esteem.

Joyce has been teaching Parent Education at Family Paths for almost twenty years. Positive parenting classes are held throughout the year, and we are currently seeking volunteer instructors. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a Volunteer Instructor, contact Joyce LaMar at JLaMar@familypaths.org.
