Cornell Cooperative Extension is pleased to announce the Supporting Healthy Families Program to the residents of Warren and Essex Counties!

​

This joint collaboration will be offered via ZOOM for five Thursdays beginning on January 14th from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon.  There is no cost to attend.

​

The program is based on Cornell University’s “Discipline Is Not A Dirty Word” and the “Parenting Skills Workshop Series” curriculums.   It is appropriate for parents/caregivers with children from toddler to teens.  It will combine basic parenting skills with healthy lifestyle skills offering parents/caregivers the unique opportunity to foster healthy relationships with the children in their care.  The parenting skills will focus on encouragement, addressing misbehaviors in a positive manner, offering choices, discipline vs. punishment, looking at the environment instead of the child’s behavior and setting a good example.  Healthy lifestyle principles will complement the parenting skills each week. 

​

Pre-registration is requested by January 10th to receive class materials on time.  If you are an Essex County resident please call Samantha Davis at 518-962-4810 or smd242@cornell.edu.
