Parenting workshop: Love and Limits
Sponsored by Martha’s Vineyard public school system, a three-part series on parenting is being held the next three Tuesdays — May 11, 18, and 25 — in the library conference room at the regional high school. The goals are for parents to understand where their style of discipline comes from, why children do the things they do, and how to positively change behaviors. Participants will gain a better understanding of their expectations for their children, and they will learn strategies for helping their children achieve these expectations. They will also learn ways to help their children learn self-control.
