MCS to present ‘Parent Project’ to explore destructive habits of youth

MADISON – To comprehend the causes and to respond to a young person’s actions, parents can attend classes for the series, “Parent Project: A Parent’s Guide to Changing Destructive Adolescent Behavior.”

Madison City Schools is sponsoring the study of this sensitive material. MCS Social Worker Heather Myers will teach the 10-week series that starts on Feb. 5 at the district’s Central Office, 211 Celtic Drive.

“A Parent’s Guide to Changing Destructive Adolescent Behavior” sessions will meet on Wednesdays for 10 weeks. The size of the class is limited to the first 25 parents who sign up. School officials ask that parents to consider the number of classes and make a commitment to attend all sessions.

Classes will be conducted from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Evening or weekend classes will not be available.

The Parent Project is open to parents or guardians of children who are 12 through 18 years old who attend Discovery, Journey or Liberty middle school or Bob Jones or James Clemens high school.

To register for the series of classes, visit forms.gle/wG7XwnoVK4WDde1X7. Attendance for all 10 classes is required for completion of the program.

The “Changing Destructive Adolescent Behavior” series is the only parent training program that addresses the most destructive of adolescent behaviors. The series has become the program of choice for parents raising difficult or out-of-control teens, according to madisoncity.k12.al.us.

The classes will confront numerous types of scenarios that today’s families face with teenagers:

• Arguing and family conflict.

• Trauma experienced during childhood.

• Poor performance with subjects in the classroom.

• Truancy and student who want to drop out of school.

• Influences that occur with the media.

• Sexuality for children entering the teenage years.

• Drug use by teenagers.

• Youth who get involved with a gang.

• Teen violence and the cause of and effect of bullying.

• Trouble teens who are runaways.
