Nurturing Parenting Classes are for Everyone!
Plumas Rural Services is now offering 7-week Nurturing Parenting classes in every community. The Nurturing Parenting program is recognized by the National Registry of Effective Programs and multiple federal and non-governmental agencies for its effectiveness in promoting strong families.
During the 7-week program, parents will learn the ages and stages of growth in children; ways to enhance positive brain development; how to communicate with respect and build self-worth; how to understand and develop family morals, values, and rules; how to praise children and use positive discipline to achieve positive behaviors; and strategies for dealing with personal challenges like stress, anger, drugs, alcohol, and domestic violence. The classes include videos, parent resource guides, and open discussions providing support, encouragement, and guidance.
The Nurturing Parenting workshops are FREE and appropriate for mothers, fathers, and
grandparents of children of all ages. Each 7-week program is tailored to meet the unique needs of the parents who are attending. The classes are a safe and confidential place to share challenges and learn from the experiences of others. The classes are offered in Quincy, Portola, Greenville, and Chester. Space is limited and classes are closed after the first session begins. Child care is available during the classes, with advance registration and notice.
