Parenting Workshop Announced

Emerson will be partnering with Dr. Abdulmunin from the Dubois Institute to offer a one day workshop entitled Effective Black Parenting. 

The class is designed for parents or guardians of students from the age of 2-18; especially for parents of students who are Black or African American; or who are the parents, grandparents or guardians of children of Black or African American heritage. 

The class makes use of 32 African proverbs as it teaches several major parenting strategies: the Pyramid of Success for Black Children, Modern Black Self-Discipline, the Thinking Parent's Approach, and Family Rule Guidelines.  It teaches a series of child management skills including effective praise, effective ignoring, verbal confrontation, time-out, and a point system method where children earn valued activities from a "Good Stuff" menu. 

If this class sounds interesting to you, please consider joining us on Monday, December 13, at 8:40 a.m.
