Parish Parent Education Program 2025
As part of our ongoing commitment to fulfilling our mission of educating and supporting the parents of our Parish students, we are excited to once again host Parish Parent Education Program (PPEP). This program aims to enhance the accessibility of our adult education sessions by consolidating multiple presentations into a single afternoon on Friday, September 26, accompanied by childcare services for Parish students. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy a lunch followed by two dynamic hour-plus adult education sessions. Each attendee will be able to customize their learning experience by choosing two of the four presentations offered. Below, you will find the additional details, including the topics and speakers of the sessions and a link to register.

12:30 -1:45 p.m.
Parenting would be so much easier if each child came with a personalized manual about how to best parent them and what to do when this happens or that happens. Unfortunately, that is not the case and every child is unique and special, which can make figuring out which parenting technique is the best approach near impossible at times. Or parents are asked to teach their child skills to manage feelings that they struggle to use themselves. Learn more about how Conscious Discipline’s adult-first mindset approach can help turn resistance into cooperation, help manage the children’s fits at home, help children learn from their mistakes and become the parent you want to be.
