Parenting series
offered at Tutu’s House

Alice Bratton, Parent Partner with Hawaii Families as Allies, will offer a “Common Sense Parenting” series starting Thursday and continuing through August. The six, two-hour Thursday evening sessions run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Tutu’s House in Waimea.

This curriculum is a practical, skills-based parenting program that can be applied to every family. The program’s logical strategies and easy-to-learn techniques address issues of communication, discipline, decision-making, relationships, self-control and school success.

Continuing to learn new skills and strategies is a fundamental part of good parenting. The skills and techniques taught in Common Sense Parenting classes have helped parents from diverse backgrounds create healthy family relationships that foster safety and well-being at home, in school and in the community.

There are no fees for Tutu’s House programs, but tax-deductible donations are always welcome. Registration is required by calling Bratton at 322-1542.
