Parents with students in fourth grade on up are invited to Good Choices, Low Conflict: A Positive Approach to Parenting.
The program is set for 7 p.m., Monday, March 31, through a collaboration of Clarkston and Waterford Youth Assistance groups, and Waterford Coalition for Youth.
Parents will discuss appropriate management of family conflicts, anger management techniques and methods for resisting peer pressure. The development of such skills, said program facilitators, is linked to delayed onset and reduction of substance abuse and delinquency.
‘This is an excellent program,? said instructor David Lee. ‘It has lasting benefits and teaches parents about conflict resolution and how to communicate through family meetings.?
It takes place at Sashabaw Presbyterian Church, 5300 Maybee Road in Independence Township.
The program is free and open to the public, but there is a fee for an accompanying workbook.
