BEDFORD – The fourth cohort of The Parent Project will begin on January 23, 2025.
This class will be held each Thursday for 10 weeks from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at the StoneGate Arts and Education Center, 931 15th Street, Bedford.
This course helps parents address any destructive or unwanted behavior, which could be substance use, refusing to attend school, running away, negative peer associates, and more.
“The Parent Project” empowers parents to help transform their teens with social media struggles and peer pressure. Excessive use of social media has also been shown to have effects on parenting, causing parental distraction, decreasing the level of everyday parental engagement, and making a child more likely to be at risk for injury. They are disconnected from the real world to connect to the virtual world. This disconnect creates gaps in parent-child relationships.
According to Katie Messmann, the program offers so much more.
“It empowers parents and transforms teens,” she added. “Parents will learn how to never argue with their child again, how to prevent or intervene in alcohol or drug use, improve school attendance and performance, and explore concrete solutions with social media issues.”
This class is for parents/caregivers of 10-17-year-olds.
There is a $30.00 program fee.
