FAM 181 — STAR PARENTING — Online

Ways STAR Parenting has helped —

• I think before I act more now.
• I feel calmer as a parent. I know I have tools I can use if I need to.
• I know how to tackle the big ugly problems I sometimes face as a parent.

FAM 181 introduces you to STAR Parenting. This approach to child guidance can be used with your children, your students, your nieces and nephews. In the North Seattle College distance learning class you will learn:

• a four-step process to deal with challenging behavior
• to consider children’s temperaments, developmental stages, and your long-range goals
• to use tools in real-life situations from five areas of healthy guidance — see star
• to generate a variety of ideas for dealing with the situations you face
• to recognize and avoid common errors using the child guidance tools

The class is led by Elizabeth Crary, a parent educator and author with more than 25 years of experience. She enjoys helping parents discover new skills. She is the author of over 30 books including STAR Parenting Tales and Tools, Am I Doing Too Much for My Child?, Without Spanking or Spoiling, and Love & Limits.
