                                                      Picture
                                                      Designed for parents of children ages 5 to 12, Active Parenting Now helps  parents learn how to raise responsible, cooperative children who are prepared to meet the challenges of the teen years. Parents can learn skills that will help them develop cooperation, responsibility and self-esteem in their children. They’ll also learn positive, non-violent discipline techniques so they can avoid power struggles.

                                                      The STEP approaches include appreciating that children’s behaviors are motivated by a variety of goals, that encouragement for children becoming the best that they can be is extremely important, and that family councils for making decisions for and with children are highly valued.
