Parenting Classes Create Family Harmony through Effective Discipline
Parenting is a tough job. Kids don’t show up with an owner’s manual! Think about it, your new laptop comes with a troubleshooting guide and a 1-800 number to call when you’re not sure what to do! When you brought your child home, all you got was that bundle of joy . . . and the hospital bill.
Join Sharon R. Thetford, Psy.D. as she reveals common parenting myths and mistakes and how to fix them. Spend less time disciplining bad behavior and more time enjoying each other as a family.


These Parenting Classes Can Be Your Owner's Manual
