Are your kids 9-14 years old? “GUIDING GOOD CHOICES” is a 5-session Parenting workshop series to be held 5 Tuesdays, October 18 – November 15, 6:00-8:00 pm, at Berlin Elementary School. This aids parents and caregivers of children, in grades four through eight, to learn skills as their kids enter middle school and high school--crucial transition times when communication is key and messages about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs is consistent.

The course is free and will cover how to set clear guidelines with both positive and negative consequences; how to control and express anger constructively; understanding the teenage brain; promoting family bonds; and preparing kids with “refusal” skills when peer influence might lead to trouble.

Space is limited, Pre-registration is required, Child care is available with reservations. Free and open to the public. Contact Ann Gilbert or Ginny Burley at 223-4949 or email info@cvndc.org to sign up.
This course is sponsored by Central Vermont New Directions Coalition in partnership with the Vermont Department of Health, Agency of Education, and Washington County Youth Service Bureau. www.cvndc.org
