Screen time is a red-hot issue between parents and children. Parents complain they can’t get screen time under control and kids can’t seem to get enough. Over half of parents say their kids are “addicted” and, even among young children, craving for screen time is rapidly accelerating.

Join us 8pm April 20th for "Talking to Kids about Gun Violence." Watch our "Peace At Home Parenting" Facebook page for this month's upcoming Live Facebook Event.Parents are asking us about helping kids deal with recent violent events. Our most important suggestion is to manage what's on the screen. Even when kids seem engrossed in activities, they are picking up on what is going on around them. Each time young children see an image of a violent act, they believe it is happening at that moment, even if it is the same image shown over and and over again.

Parents are less stressed when their kids cooperate. Children are more cooperative when they feel positively connected with their parents. This online class recording will help you understand and apply:

• Communication skills that build strong parent-child connections
• Parent behaviors that help kids cope with stress so they can develop self-control
• Effective discipline that reduces misbehavior and increases positive behavior in the long run

Family meals are associated with school success, lower rates of teen problems and an assortment of positive outcomes. Yet, parents find it hard to keep consistent mealtimes and often mistakenly use feeding and mealtimes to try to enforce healthy eating through unhealthy means. This class will provide parents best practices for feeding children that support both health and family connections.
