Tackle the teen years with courage and confidence.
This online course will show you how.
It's the full-time job that we don't get paid for: raising children. But being a great parent of teens doesn't have to be the most stressful part of your life. With Dr. Michael H. Popkin's respected parenting class, you will acquire valuable tools needed by every parent. Active Parenting of Teens is an online program that will give you confidence and courage to meet the challenges (and savor the joys) of your children's teen years. It is based on the award-winning Active Parenting of Teens curriculum.
Combining entertaining video, group discussion, reading and activities, the program will show you how to:
Communicate effectively with teens (it can be done!)
Understand a teen's goals—which is key to avoiding power struggles
Give your teen the tools needed to behave in a responsible way
Be a positive influence on your adolescent
Reduce the risks of the teen years, including alcohol, drugs, sexuality and violence
Much more!
And because it's an online parenting class, you can complete the lessons wherever and whenever you would like, and review past lessons as many times as you need. Aside from providing parenting help through planned lessons, the online class also allows you to connect with other parents to hold discussions and complete activities.
You will receive excellent advice and parenting techniques from a highly qualified leader, access to online resources and videos, and the ability to discuss parenting with other adults around the country—all in one parenting class at the low cost of $79.95.

Note: Some families require more help than a parenting education class can provide. Active Parenting Publishers does not guarantee changes in children as a result of attending parenting classes. Our programs are educational in nature, not therapeutic. Throughout the program, parents are taught that change occurs when they (the parents) work to make the changes. If problems persist, please don't give up; seek the help of a social services or mental health professional.
