Seeds of Learning and Pagosa Head Start are partnering to offer the Incredible Years Parenting Class to caregivers who want to build positive relationships with their children or would like new ideas to help their children learn and grow. This class is free for families with children between the ages of 3 and 8 years.
The parenting class will be offered each Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m., for 14 weeks, starting Wednesday, Jan. 17. A free dinner will be offered at 5:30 p.m., and child care is provided.
The Incredible Years Parenting class will help strengthen children’s social skills, emotional regulation and school-readiness skills. You will learn skills to encourage cooperative behavior, learn to use positive discipline, as well as learn how to best handle misbehaviors.
A local father said, “At first, I was not all that eager to give up my free time for 14 weeks, but over time, the other class members became such good friends. I realized I wasn’t the only parent having the same struggles with my children. I was astounded at the degree of effectiveness from the class. My son was responding very positively to the techniques I had learned and began implementing at home. This class became a weekly meeting that I looked forward to each week as a positive gathering of friends.”
If you have any questions about the class or would like to register, please call Seeds of Learning at (970) 264-5513 or Tri County Head Start at (970) 264-2484. Call soon as class size is limited.
