Illinois Central College’s Professional Development Institute (PDI) will host several workshops aimed at providing parents the tools they need to parent children in specific age groups. “Your Parenting Tool Kit” workshops are facilitated by Lisa Gentry, a public school teacher and private practice counselor with more than 20 years of experience working with children and families.
Topics include: how to conduct a family meeting, why children misbehave, effective ways to communicate with your children, effective parenting styles, the difference between discipline and punishment, how to parent during difficult times, and much more.
