Systematic Training for Effective Parenting
(STEP)
PARENTING COURSES
For parents of children under six

In just eight powerful sessions, parents learn specific, highly helpful techniques to improve family communication and encourage children’s cooperation and responsible development.  Systematic Training for Effective Parenting, S.T.E.P., has been highly researched over the past 30 years, proving to be a time-tested, skill-based, highly practical parenting course with more than 5 million parents trained worldwide. 

Parents who take our courses report that they learn the specific skills they need to manage their children without resorting to yelling or spanking. Their children learn to be much more cooperative and family communication is greatly improved.  Family stress levels are significantly reduced.  Best of all, everyone can achieve this while feeling much better about themselves as parents and children!

Ø “I have learned so much, and I just wish I had taken this course years ago!”
      (Mother of five)

Ø “I don’t have to yell at my kids now that I have other choices that work better.”
      (Father of three)

Ø “The atmosphere in my home is so much calmer now.” (Mother of two)

We provide:  Highly trained and experienced course Facilitators, caring on-site childcare, food, textbook, binder, handouts and all materials.  Come share and learn with other parents of young children.
