Parenting skills taught An Emery Dis- trict Parenting Skills Train-ingtea- m consisting of supervisor Roma N. Powell, Principal Nina Gray, school lunch supervisor Mary B. Grange and educators, Sandra Jeffs, La Rita Nelson, Collette Clement, Karen Bishop and Barry Bishop, will serve as trainers at the Parenting With Confidence Workshop. These instructors will guide parents through the stimulating sessions on parenting skills at the Cottonwood Elementary School during November of 1991. The team members have been through special training in order to present the parenting skills sessions. This training is made possible through a grant written by the Emery School District in the amount of $13,000. A previous grant enabled the Emery District to purchase complete sets of videos in order to present the training. Grant funds will pay for the $18.95 parent manuals for each parent registered for the course. Emery Countys Drug & Alcohol Prevention Advisory Council is sponsoring a series of parent training courses in response to the many perplexities facing todays parents. Sometimes the challenges facing our youth seem so big and so complex that we ques- - tion what one organization, one educator, one parent, one concerned citizen can do. The parenting skills training course at Cottonwood Elementary comes as a response to this concern. We now have the potential to better develop youth potential, and improve outcomes for k youth. There is so much at stake. Everyone must ask at-ris- themselves this question, Will we develop our potential as youth programmers and by so doing, invest in the next generation, or will we con- tinue to tolerate the deca- dence of modern society? Mrs. Powell said. The parenting skills training teaches that we cannot consider our youth separately from the environment in which they live, work and play. As humans we have a social habitat that either sup- ports or hinders a productive life. Children do not grow up in isolation; they grow up in environments. Children are influenced first and foremost by their family, but also by their peers, their school and work setting and the community in which they live. Development has no single cause; development is shaped by multiple factors working No longer can we together. compartmentalize youth and isolate the relevance of family, STARTrHEATRE .

Our most effective programs will need to assess risk factors and protective factors at several levels of the childs ecology and then target programs to the gaps that exist. Mrs. Powell, director of the parenting skills training, said As a parenting skills instructor, I find it is helpful for parents to understand the two basic roles they play as parents; the caring role and the executive role. The caring role is made up of behaviors which show our children that we love, accept, support and nurture them. The executive role involves those behaviors which show our children that we are there to direct them to appropriate behaviors and that we want to influence them in beneficial ways. Most parents have a tendency to rely primarily on the fashion C3flS BHPATJEDEEDi 0 MlilxaifS Please register me for the Drug (Free) Years Parenting Course: Hams;; Address: Phone Number: caring role and are often wary of carrying through with their executive role. The parenting skills training encourages discussion of the executive role of parenting. We discuss incidents when parents have realized that they gave in to childrens wants though they should not have, how they feel when making and enforcing rules and how to gain support from other parents and family when making some of those often unpopular executive decisions. Helping children become happy, productive citizens is not an easy task. If often involves making difficult decisions about what children can and cannot do, and then carrying out appropriate consequences and reinforcement. It takes commit-inen- t to say to a child, I dont care what you think of me right now I care about what you are going to think of me 10 years from now. Workshop topics to be covered during the five consecutive training sessions (time 6 to 8 p.m. for each session) are: Session one, Nov. 7, getting started; Session two, Nov. 12, setting guidelines; Session three, Nov. 14, avoiding trouble: how to say On Thursday, Nov. 21, the American Cancer Society will celebrate its 15th annual Great American Smokeout.
