Boys Town South Florida Offers Parenting Course For School-Aged Children In WPB

Boys Town South Florida is offering the Common Sense Parenting course starting this month in West Palm Beach.

Boys Town South Florida is excited to help parents with school-aged children build their parenting skills with an interactive six-week course that uses easy-to-learn techniques to address issues of communication, discipline, decision-making, relationships, self-control and school success.

Common Sense Parenting (CSP) is not just another parenting program. It’s a research-proven, successful program based on the Boys Town Model. It offers a consistent structure and delivers lasting, positive results. The courses are conducted in a fun and intimate small class setting, led by experienced Common Sense Parenting instructors.

“The proactive skills and techniques taught in this program have a proven track record of helping parents from diverse backgrounds create healthy family relationships that foster safety and well-being at home, in school, and in the community,” said Bethany Lacey, executive director of Boys Town South Florida.

The next six-week course begins on Tuesday, Aug. 13 at 1655 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd., Suite 102, in West Palm Beach. There are also two classes (one in English and one in Spanish) beginning in Broward starting Oct. 1 at Stirling Elementary School in Hollywood. To register and learn more, visit www.parenting.org.

CSP is in widespread use, annually serving more than 1,500 children and 1,000 families at Boys Town sites across the United States. It is also disseminated through other agencies in 47 states and 14 foreign countries.
