Parenting class at St. David's Center
St. David's Center's first parenting class of the new school year, "Parenting from the Heart: Compassion, Connection and Choice," will be held Oct. 23 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at St. David's Center, 3395 Plymouth Rd.
Presenter Yvette Erasmus brings a background in psychology, healing and education to the conversation, which will offer practical skills for parents. Attendees will learn how to understand the needs behind behavior, especially behaviors that are viewed as unpleasant or difficult.
Erasmus will address how communication practices can create a home environment where both children and parents are nurtured emotionally.
The event is free and open to the public, but online registration is required. For more information, contact special events manager Layne Trout at 952-548-8627 or events@stdavidscenter.org.
