Nurturing ProgramThe Nurturing Program is designed to increase family communication, cooperation, closeness and respect. Parents and children-meeting separately and together-learn to handle feelings, communicate needs, understand each other better, take charge of their own behavior, feel good about themselves, enjoy each other and have fun. Practical, effective techniques are taught for handling challenging behavior and conflicts.
