The Incredible Years

This is a 14 week closed class series for parents that identify challenges with their 2, 3, 4 or 5 year old that hasn’t entered Kindergarten. The course is based on well-established behavioral/social-learning principles that describe how behaviors are learned and how they can be changed. The aim is helping parents’ interactions with their child to become more positive and on changing parents’ responses to specific child behaviors. Some of the short term goals of the program are to increase children’s problem-solving skills and effective anger management strategies. Increase children’s social skills and decrease children’s aggressive behaviors.

All workshops are free, but registration is required. Call Kimberly @ 560-7319 or Patience at 560-7392 to register. Childcare is provided for a donation of $2 per child/$5 maximum per family with advance notice only. Childcare is limited: please consider all your childcare options. We also offer some limited assistance with transportation based on fund availability. Please discuss your needs with Kimberly and Patience when you call.

Classes fill up quickly and so please call to get the latest scheduling information.
