The Downeast Children’s Council is pleased to
offer a new FREE 5 week parenting series in January. “Guiding Good
Choices” is for all parents and guardians of children in grades 4-8.
Using an interactive program in a lively and open atmosphere, parents
will learn specific strategies to help their children avoid problem
behaviors and develop into healthy adults. You will learn how to
strengthen family bonds, set a clear family position on drugs, teach
children skills they will need to make healthy choices and increase
children's involvement in the family.
