Parenting children that are entering puberty or are in their adolescent years can be trying and confusing. Marian E., a mother of three grown children and grandmother of six, a licensed Parent Educator and a member of Messiah, is offering a seven week parenting class to support parents and provide valuable information and skills. The classes will begin Wednesday, Sept. 24 from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. at Messiah (room to be announced).
All topics to be covered are presented from a Christian perspective and are:
1) Understanding yourself and your teenager;
2) Changing your response to your teen;
3) Communicating respect and encouragement;
4) Encouraging cooperation and problem solving;
5) Using problem solving to build responsibility;
6) Consequences for behavior;
7) Handling the sticky problems of life such as sex, pornography, drugs and alcohol.

The cost of the class is $45/individual, $60/couple. Scholarships are available by contacting the church office or Marian.  Preregistration is required with a $10 deposit to hold you place in a class of a minimum or eight and a maximum of 12.   Registration deadline is Sunday, Sept. 15.
