TESTIMONIALS
"This class was very informative. The steps and procedures parents should take to handle teens are accurate. Like the “deflectors” or specific words parents can use to deflate an argument before it can even get started. I used them with my child and they actually worked! Sometimes parents think they know everything about being a parent but this class proves we don’t and I think every parent should put their pride aside and admit these classes can help." ~~~ Parent who took the "Back in Control" Workshop
THE PARENT KIT
If you are a parent who feels at a loss as to what to say when it comes to talking to your teens about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, then you may want to access the "Your Child Didn't Come with an Owner's Manual" Parent Kit.
