Parenting Classes
Todos Juntos Parenting Academy—Classes in English and Spanish!
Children are not born with a set of directions. Which means all parents can benefit from parent education. Todos Juntos Parenting Academy offers several classes a year in rural Clackamas County. Parenting skills are crucial to children's well-being and development. Research shows that parenting education can strengthen and support families in the prevention of child abuse and neglect. Effective parenting skills also promote protective factors and increase positive parenting. Improving parent and child skills is critical in developing whole communities. Join one of our classes to connect with other families for peer support, increase your knowledge on ages and stages of development, gain knowledge in how to handle stress in positive ways, manage behavior issues, and apply positive discipline techniques. There is no such thing as a perfect parent: learn how to have the tools in your tool box to deal with parenting when it gets hard. Parent education not only strengthens the parent child relationship, but also strengthens your communication skills with all people.
