THE PARENT PROJECT

- Teaches effective ways to discipline out-of-control or strong willed kids, thereby reducing conflicts and ineffective arguing.

- Offers tips for parents to help their child improve school performance and attendance.

- Aids parents in recognizing, confronting and intervening into any substance abuse and gang involvement.

Cost of the entire 10 - week series is $150.00 for single parents and $275.00 for a couple (workbook and materials are included).

Workshop Facilitators, Jean and Ron Arnett, are a dynamic husband and wife team with a wealth of practical and professional experience. Jean is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with Fremont's Youth & Family Services. Ron is a retired police officer and FUSD educator. Together, they lead this practical, dynamic course, not only as professionals, but also as parents who understand the unique challenges of parenting.
