About the parenting class:
Countless caregivers have found success through the Active Parenting program, and you have the opportunity to do the same! Crafted by Dr. Michael Popkin, a renowned parenting specialist and father, this workshop is tailored for parents who have children between the ages of five and 12. The program offers valuable insights into cultivating responsible behaviors in your children and empowering them to navigate adverse peer influences. Across six comprehensive sessions, you’ll acquire strategies for nurturing your children with non-aggressive discipline approaches.
