"Talk Early & Talk Often," a free nationally recognized parent workshop designed to help parents and caregivers of middle and high school children develop better skills when dealing with abstinence and sexuality, is being offered at Truman High School from 6-8 p.m. March 27.
To register for the event, email Truman Parent Liaison Mary Logan at loganm@taylor.k12.mi.us. The workshop will be held in the Truman Media Center.
The program will aim at specific issues:
- Increased communication skills
- Recognize opportunities to "open the door"
- Recognize "teachable moments"
- Gain confidence with your new skill set
It is never too late to improve a relationship with a child or teenager. Parents should never underestimate the great need that children feel to have a close relationship with their parents. Children want guidance and support -- and this program will help interested parents develop their own support plan.
Parents are the prime educators of their children and continue communication at home is vital in helping unprepared children avoid serious problems.
For nearly a decade, "Talk Early & Often" has consistently received high praise from parents, educators and community leaders. The workshop was developed with support from several state agencies.
