Program provides free training for parents


Buffalo, N.Y. August 11, 2009: Children do not come with an instruction book, but help is available for parents. People Inc. is offering parents the Incredible Years Program, a free training program to help parents learn how to:

• Foster a positive relationship with your child
• Improve your child's compliance and cooperation
• Decrease negative behaviors at home
• Develop your child's social skills

The Incredible Years Program offers research-based, effective programs for reducing children's aggression and behavior problems, and increasing social competence at home and at school.

In the Incredible Years Program, you will learn how to cope with the stresses of parenthood, avoid power struggles, determine appropriate consequences, and develop creative and imaginative play with your child.

The next session will begin in September 2009. For more information or to register, please call JoAnne Fall at 874.4500, ext. 212.

This free training is made possible through a grant from The Peter and Elizabeth C. Tower Foundation, the Fatta Foundation and the Children's Foundation.
