Featured Tips

The best way to deal with tantrums is to avoid them when possible. Try using these tips: try to give toddlers “some” control over things, such as when they will brush their teeth or the flavor of their juice; keep off-limit objects out of their sight and reach; distract your child when possible; choose your battles and accommodate them when you can. Even negative attention is better than no attention at all to a child, so make sure you're attending to the behaviors you want to encourage.

Lives Changed

When I started my 12-week Positive Parenting Program, I began to realize what it meant to be a good parent. I kept going to the classes and each week I learned new ways to raise my son. Before long, my friends at The Family Tree had helped me figure out my strengths and find the confidence to use them. For the first time, I saw the possibilities of a happy, healthy future with my son.
