parenting Is awesome! but also hard. really hard. join us for six seminars featuring tools for every parent.
 
Is this you?
Most of the time, parenting is great fun. You know you are doing a good job. But there are times when things get a little tricky. Like when your toddler won’t eat her dinner. Or your six year old won’t pick up his toys. Maybe your child never seems to listen. If only someone could give you some ideas to make those times easier!
Join us for free, virtual parenting classes! They’re informal presentations, a little like a public forum. The seminars last around 90 minutes. There is time at the end for your questions, but you won’t have to speak up if you don’t want to. It’s your choice. There’s also no homework and no follow up. It is designed to be a brief introduction to the Triple P strategies. But you will definitely get some great ideas to take home and try out with your family! You can choose to do one – or all – of them. They deal with the most common parenting issues we all face.
 

Thanks to everyone who was able to join us for our December 2nd meeting!

Think of SADD National On Giving Tuesday

 

By Elizabeth Carpenter, CCDP/TEACH SADD and Youth Coalition President, SADD National Student Leadership Council. TN SADD Student Leadership Council 

 

SADD is Students Against Destructive  Decisions. They are a non-profit organization, who prides themselves on being student led. SADD projects span across the U.S and further. Our mission is to help teens gain knowledge and empower them to make better decisions in regards to important topics such as: distracted driving, underage drinking and overall mental wellness (to name a few!). These topics are proving to be a threat for today’s teens and we need your help! Beginning on December 1, 2020, SADD National will begin their Adventure Challenge on Giving Tuesday. We hope to fundraise $20,020 by the end of the year. In order for the best possible outcome, each SLC/CAC will partner with one SADD Board Member. Now it’s up to you! I ask that you donate today to keep this wonderful organization going! Here’s the link if you’re interested in donating today! https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E352484&id=15
