In this 5-hour, two-week class, parents will learn how to assist their children in acquiring skills related to social competency. The parent’s role as social coach is explored, along with social boundaries, levels of friendship, and concrete skills related to making and keeping friends.  This class also looks at how to address challenging social situations like bullying, rumors, and bad reputations. The importance of active, intentional involvement on the part of the parent as coach is stressed. To register, call 314.968.2350 ext. 7234 or email intake.dept@familyforwardmo.org.
