Parents will receive: Help in communicating with your teen, tools to provide direction with discipline and insight into today’s teen issues.

February 16: Cooperation and Communication.

February 22: Responsibility and Discipline, Acceptance and Consequences.

February 29: Courage, Self-Esteem and Encouragement.

Active Parenting of Teens: Families in Action was designed to reach a cross-section of families in a range of family structures. It is appropriate for families with significant teen problems such as drug use and those with everyday challenges such as disrespectful behavior.

Parents and preteens/teens are encouraged to attend the course together. Trained facilitators will lead a parent group and a preteen/teen group meeting separately. If it is not possible for preteens/teens to attend classes as a family, parents may attend without their children or preteens/teens may attend without their parents.

This course is free of charge and both parents and preteens/teens will receive a workbook.

To register your attendance at Active Parenting of Teens, please call the McKenzie County Extension Office at 701-444-3451 or CrossPoint Church at 701-444-2355 or email [email protected] or [email protected].
