Daily Parent Drive Thru

The PRIDE Parent Enrichment Series is going strong this spring of 2010. Our next four week class (starting February 16) will focus on how to get kids of all ages to be more independent, clean up after themselves, help around the house and learn important life skills. But these topics will also be linked to

healthy self esteem

confidence and

self reliance

for children.

• Did you know that children are less likely to misbehave when they feel needed at home?
• Did you realize that making children more independent and involving them in cleaning the house can lead to better behavior?
• Did you know that children who feel more capable are at lower risk for behaviors such as drug use, unplanned pregnancy and depression?

The name of the class is

Chores Without Family Wars

but will offer so much more to families. During class, parents will learn some of the concepts that link contributing at home to improved behavior, better social interactions with others and a lower risk of social/emotional issues.

Chores Without Family Wars

Essential Life Skills for Teaching Independence

Preparing children for real life means teaching them how to do
laundry, cook, clean, maintain a car and more.
Children who feel capable and genuinely needed
misbehave less than children who are pampered.
This active learning workshop explores the
Significant Seven Perceptions and Skills that promote
self-reliance in children and teens,
teaches family tools for assigning age appropriate chores and
helps parents practice follow-through techniques.
