Parent And Support Education (PASE) 1-Day Intensive: September 14th Saturday, September 14, 2024 10:00 am - 2:00 pm Dutchess County Farm & Home Center 2715 Route 44, Millbrook, New York 12545-5566 This free course, open to the general public, is an exploration of five key communication tools that can enhance your relationships at work, at home with your spouse or partner, and with your children.Raising children is a rewarding but often challenging endeavor, especially in today's society. Because parenting requires significant amounts of time, energy, and emotional strength, it is not uncommon for parents to feel stress related to this important role. Our workshops teach participants parenting skills in the areas of understanding children, how to help children learn and thrive, effective discipline and personal stress management. As parents learn how to better understand, guide, nurture, and motivate their children, they will become more effective. Parents of children of any age can benefit from these programs.In-Person Adult Workshop Intensive: Communication Introduction and “Encouragement”“Can Do” and “Decision Making”“Self-Control” and “Respect Feelings” Positive Discipline Co-ParentingApply skills for today and a lifetime!Please pack a bagged lunch.
