Parenting Empowerment Classes and Workshops

Children don’t come with an owner’s manual . . .

Times have changed. What used to work for our parents and grandparents as ways to discipline children doesn’t seem to work nowadays.

Some feel we have gone from one extreme of being too strict to an extreme of being too permissive. There is also confusion and fear about the law and corporal punishment in our state.


Therefore, many of us choose not to discipline our children. This causes our children to grow without limits. Oftentimes they disrespect adults and become very difficult to manage.

Things don’t have to be this way. Join a group of parents who have decided to learn about their rights and responsibilities as parents. Come learn effective ways of parenting that energize you instead of leaving you feeling frustrated.

You too can parent and educate your children with dignity!
