Program offers help for parents

Milford — Parenting is not easy, nor is being a child. Parents face tough challenges and children face difficult social situations. To help parents do the best job possible, Penn State Cooperative Extension in Pike County presents “Positive Parenting.” Positive Parenting provides the manual for raising successful children, creating competent, confident parents, and building strong families. Parents - with love, limits, and lots of involvement, you can be a major influence in developing happy, healthy and well-behaved children; children with a sense of who they are and where they belong. Parent education is the key. The four-session workshop will benefit families of infants, school-age children, and teens. This program is being offered in day or evening sessions, to parents, parent educators, social service agencies, parenting organization, schools, churches, etc. Evening classes begin Dec. 1, and daytime classes begin Dec. 3. Incentives are available while supplies last for those who complete the course.
