| Guiding Good Choices is an interactive parenting workshop for parents of children ages 9 - 14. The free two-hour sessions are held once a week for five weeks; children are included in session 3. Dinner is provided. Parents learn a number of skills, including: |
- how to communicate effectively with their children,
- create healthy beliefs and set clear standards,
- hold family meetings,
- manage anger and conflicts,
- help their children develop refusal skills and avoid dangerous or uncomfortable situations while still keeping their friends, and
- establish parent networks.
Our next Guiding Good Choices workshop will be at Bradford United Methodist Church on Walnut St. and will be held Sept. 28 through Oct. 26 from 6 - 8 p.m. Free dinner and child care will be provided each week, as well as program materials. Please reserve your spot now by calling 501-388-3170 or email wisecoalition@gmail.com.
Other locations & dates for Guiding Good Choices will be announced soon. If your church or organization is interested in partnering with WISE to offer a workshop, please contact us.
