Positive Solutions for Families Based on the research-based practices utilized in the social and emotional learning framework, the Pyramid Model, families will learn how to support your child's social and emotional skills and development, understand the why behind challenging behaviors and discover positive parenting approaches to help children learn appropriate behavior.  Sept. 17 - 
Nov. 19
The Way of Play The Way of Play helps parents to nurture calm listeners, cooperative problems solvers, and respectful communicators. "Kids often want parents to play with them, but many parents don't know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time." Learn how to lean into playfulness to create moments of connection in the everyday activities of raising a family. Jan. 7 - March 11
Good Inside This class, inspired by Dr. Becky Kennedy's acclaimed book "Good Inside," offers a transformative approach to parenting. Dr. Kennedy shifts the focus from merely shaping children's behavior to cultivating the essential skills needed to raise kind, resilient, and well-rounded individuals.  April 8 - June 10
