Guiding Good Choices: The Conversations Before the Choices
5th grade and Middle School Parents… This is your Wake-Up Call!
Most parents think they have more time. The average age children first encounter vaping, alcohol, peer pressure, or risky online behavior is younger than most families expect.
The good news? Research shows one of the strongest protective factors isn’t punishment.
It’s having a trusted adult who knows how to start the conversation.
Join us for Guiding Good Choices, a nationally recognized 4-session workshop designed for parents of children ages 9–14.
- Build stronger communication
- Learn how to set boundaries that work
- Help your child confidently say “no”
- Strengthen your family before the challenges begin
Four sessions now can change hundreds of conversations later.
