Free Parenting Classes in Washington DC by PEP, The Parent Encouragement Program

March 28th, 2010

The Parent Encouragement Program (PEP) has posted its spring schedule and it kicks off 4 workshops free to all parents who have never taken a PEP class!  PEP recognizes the increasing need for parenting education for all parents in our area and is working to make it as accessible as possible for everyone.

Why Don’t My Kids Listen to Me? A FREE workshop for all parents of kids ages 2 1/2 to 18

Are you tired of saying the same things over and over to your kids and not getting results? Do you find yourself giving into the kids’ demands too easily and/or yelling a lot? Learn how to gain more cooperation from your children without repeating, reminding, or yelling. Find answers to the question, “Why don’t my kids listen to me?”   Space is limited and pre-registration is required by calling the Parent Encouragement Program at 301-929-8824 or 703-242-8824. Free parking available on-site. For more information, visit www.PEPparent.org.

(And from the tantrum screams I hear in the next room, a discount I should avail myself of immediately.)
