Active Parenting 

Active Parenting is a positive parenting program designed by Dr, Michael H. Popkin, a psychologist whose focus is helping families in today’s uncertain and dangerous world. Active Parenting teaches parents everything they need to know about instilling confidence in their children, nonviolent discipline techniques, and encouraging mutual respect. The program offers a variety of tools to help raise happy, healthy, and successful children.

Active Parenting courses are designed to target parents raising children of specific age groups. The **Parents 1,2,3,4** program is a 3 week course focusing on parents raising children ages 1-4. The **Active Parenting Now** program is taught in either a 3 or 6- week format, and focuses on parents raising children ages 5-12. The **Active Parenting for Teens** program is a 6-week course and targets parents of children ages 12-18. Each course will provide parents with strategies and techniques that will improve communication, teach responsibility, cope with difficult topics, and stimulate independence.

Active Parenting isn’t just for parents. Guardians, grandparents, childcare providers and teachers will also find the information taught by the Active Parenting programs very informative and instructional.
