Parenting That Works

Parenting That Works is a nationally recognized, parent-implemented program designed to help parents deal with the behavior and development of preschool children. Experienced parents, along with professional staff, who completed the program successfully provide training and support for newly enrolled families.

We can help with the following areas of challenging behavior:

• Not following directions, stubbornness
• Aggression, destructive behavior
• Withdrawn behavior
• Hyperactivity, not paying attention
• Bedtime or sleeping problems
• Trouble with potty training
