Parenting Classes at ATX Counseling
ATX Counseling offers a range of parenting courses. Our classes can help you navigate different child development stages, work on long-term goals like fostering independence and setting routines, and improve parenting skills for handling daily struggles.
1. Age-Specific Issues.
Parenting through different stages of childhood often brings new challenges and opportunities for growth. As kids get older, they face unique developmental milestones that can feel overwhelming for parents. We offer classes tailored to specific age groups, providing techniques for handling the changes that come with each stage.
For example, Navigating the Middle School Years: Ideas and Strategies for Healthy Families is for parents of 5th and 6th graders. It focuses on open communication and identity development while providing strategies for social skills, peer pressure, social media, and growing independence.
2. Online Courses.
The team at ATX Counseling hosts online parenting courses designed to provide counseling services no matter where you are. These courses cover various topics, including our court-approved Co-Parenting With Confidence course, which is available online.
This course provides direction for parents healing from divorce. It helps you co-parent successfully and lead your family through this time of transition. You’ll gain tools to build a stronger foundation for your family’s future, fostering a happier and healthier life moving forward.
3. Parent Coaching
Maybe you’re not facing any specific issues, but still feel like you could use extra support. In addition to our classes, we offer Parent Coaching to help you feel more secure in your role as a caregiver.
These sessions focus on setting healthy boundaries, strengthening your relationship with your child, and creating a positive home environment. We also explore ways to make parenting more fun so you can fully enjoy this special time and look back on it with happiness and joy.
