Parent Resources

Parenting classes offer up-to-date information on how families can get along. Every family should take a parenting class when the children are small and again when they are teenagers! Parents need all the help they can get. It is too rough being a parent in today's society. Get some help and support for yourself. For parenting classes, call your local school, church or mental health center. In some areas, there are separate classes for parents of younger and older children. These national organizations have literature available and can refer you to local services.
