La Canada Presbyterian Church’s Parent Education program invites the community to two new classes, New Babies and Parenting Your Exceptional Child, starting in early 2016 along with the second semester of all Parent Education classes.

For parents wishing their newborn came with an instruction manual, look no farther than Nanette Brown’s New Babies Class. Specially tailored to parents of babies born between August and December 31, 2015, parents will find advice, support and sustenance in a caring group setting. Brown, an experienced instructor and mother of seven, will lead discussions on nursing and nutrition, sleep habits, changing family dynamics, infant safety and bonding with your infant. Group discussions allow plenty of time for parental connection. The New Babies Class will start January 21, 2016 on Thursdays from 11:30 -1:30.

Parenting your Exceptional Child (PEC) is a six-week class for parents of K-6th grade children who need encouragement, support, education and resources for parenting their exceptional child (ADHD/ADD, autism spectrum, special needs, highly gifted, adoption or divorce Issues, health or any other exceptional circumstances). Parents will have the opportunity to meet weekly with an experienced Parent Ed teacher, Sloan Walsh, and collaborate with other parents facing the same challenges in raising a child with exceptional needs, gifts and/or circumstances. Discussion topics will include: Parenting Methods for Raising an Exceptional Child, Supporting Learning and Managing School Challenges, Raising Happy Kids Who Thrive, Handling Challenging Discipline Issues, and Understanding Our Children’s Brain to name a few. This six-week class will be held February 3-March 9 on Wednesdays from 12:30-2:30.

Sloan says, “I love teaching Parent Ed because I have the wonderful privilege of supporting parents in their journey of parenthood. The friendships I’ve had the joy of making throughout the years here are priceless!”
