Minnesota Say Yes to No

This class will be based on the book No: Why Kids – of All Ages – Need to Hear It and Ways Parents Can Say It by Dr. David Walsh. The book emphasizes self-discipline as the most important life skill that parents and educational leaders can instill in children to help them achieve future success. Parents often ask what they can do to raise self-reliant children, and this book provides parents with the necessary tools to do that.  “Success can be defined in many ways,” said Dr. David Walsh,  “Say Yes to No defines successful children as those who are self-reliant and know where the parental boundaries are.” Join us for a book discussion on this important topic. Books will be available to check out or purchase.

Fee: $30.00 per family. 

This class is for parents and children ages birth  - grade 4. We will have a parent/child activity time at the beginning of class!
