“It’s OK to Say No”

Systematic Training for Effective Parenting

A Six-week Parenting Class

Attend a S.T.E.P. Workshop and Learn:

• How to Understand your child’s behavior


• How to listen and talk to your child


• Discipline that makes sense…

Today's parents live in an era where family structure is based increasingly on social equality. Traditional methods of raising children are no longer effective as they were a generation ago.

STEP offers parents a realistic approach to meeting the challenges of raising children today and helps them learn effective and enjoyable ways to relate to their children. STEP also guides participants in achieving the goal parents want most: to raise responsible children who will grow into responsible men and women, capable of living meaningful, happy adult lives.

STEP can help you become a better parent.

STEP participants work together in small discussion groups that are supportive, friendly and thought provoking. Parents become actively involved in discussing common concerns and learning specific child-training ideas and skills.

In six sessions, you'll learn helpful techniques to improve family communication and encourage cooperation. You will learn effective discipline strategies that promote self-esteem and mutual respect.
