Family Talk

Positive Parenting Seminars

Join us to discuss ways to help children and families build positive coping skills. Our workshop series will help you strengthen relationships with your child and create a more peaceful family dynamic.

Your ADHD Toolkit for School Age Children: Stock a toolkit of strategies that will help you focus on the gifts that come along with ADHD/ADD - gifts like thinking outside the box, willingness to take risks, and creative expression. Learn how the ADHD mind works and how to circumvent challenges. This workshop will arm adults with lots of practical kid-empowerment strategies. Tuesday, August 19, 6:30-9:30 pm, $20. Parents may attend from 7-9pm.


Hassle-less Homework: Do you find yourself yelling, fighting, and nagging about homework? Do you feel like the Homework Police when all you wanted was to be a supportive parent? Don’t feel bad about homework hassles; they’re more common than you might imagine. With a few changes, you can avoid the aggravation and start seeing an improvement in family dynamics and children’s attitudes. Tuesday, September 16, 7-9pm, $20

All seminars are held at the Florence Bain Center (5470 Ruth Keeton Way) in Columbia. Space is limited, and registration in advance is required. Please call 410-313-1940 with questions.
