Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ontario County is hosting a new Parenting Skills Workshop Series #107 plus a separate workshop for TEENS. The instructors for the parenting class will teach the parents five (5) skills that can help them deal with difficult parent-child situations. The skills are: Encouragement, Can Do, Choices, Self-Control, and Respecting Feelings. At the same time, teenage children of those parents, will meet in a separate location with a facilitator for small group instruction. They will learn about the same five (5) skills only the instructor will use methods tailored for the younger minds.
