Positive Parenting Classes

Family Paths' Positive Parenting Classes are designed to improve parent/child relationships by teaching the parent or caregiver about the developmental stages of children. These classes are appropriate for new parents, foster and kinship care providers, adoptive parents and others who are involved in parenting roles with children.

Our emphasis is on fostering an environment of understanding and self-monitoring skills for parents, so that they will come away with the tools they need to create a nurturing environment. Participants in our Positive Parenting classes will learn:

  • How to communicate effectively with their child
  • How to focus on the child’s strengths and talents
  • How to recognize their own stress points and specific techniques to de-stress
  • How to develop positive disciplines with their child
  • Methods and techniques around anger management skills
  • How to rebuild and foster a strong parent/child relationship

Our Positive Parenting courses are taught in either an 8-week or 12-week series, and are offered in both English and Spanish. Classes are offered in several locations throughout Alameda County, and are located near public transportation. Free childcare is provided onsite, and payment is determined on a sliding scale.
