2010 Positive Parenting Workshop - Confident Parenting

A coalition of Solano organizations supporting parents and child care providers is offering its fourth annual workshop devoted to “positive parenting” on Saturday, February 20, 2010 from 9:00 am-3:00 pm at Solano Community College, 4000 Suisun Valley Road, Fairfield.  

“Why do kids do what they do?”, Family rules and child behavior, and the “Thinking Parent’s Strategy” are topics included in the workshop.  Parents, grandparents or relatives providing care and childcare providers are encouraged to attend. This event is also an excellent opportunity for couples to learn positive parenting strategies together!

Each participant will receive materials related to the topic and other materials for at home activities with children. Lunch is provided and free childcare is available. The cost of the workshop is $15 and some scholarships will be available.  Download the  registration form here or call 707.399.4409 for additional information.
