The City of Palmdale is offering a course entitled "Parenting Skills for Parents with Strong-Willed or Out-of-Control Children," beginning Tuesday, Oct. 16, and running for10 weeks.

The classes will be held from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. To register for this course, please call (661) 267-5665.

This course is designed for parents of teenagers and provides education in a multilevel model, combining instruction with topic-focused, self-help parent groups.

The curriculum utilizes behavioral interventions to present practical, no-nonsense solutions to the serious problems parents face raising children today.

"We've had quite a few success stories in this class," said City of Palmdale Youth and Family Services Supervisor Kari Robertson. "And we get a lot of good feedback."

One participant wrote to the city and said, "This program has had a very positive impact on both my son and me. His behavior has changed for the better, and I feel better as a mom."

For more information, please call (661) 267-5665.
