| Parents
Anonymous® Children's
Program |
 |
“Parents
Anonymous®
is where mommy
goes to become a better parent.” |
|
|
Children
and youth find a safe and nurturing environment
in the weekly, free of charge Parents Anonymous®
Children’s Program. While their parents
are meeting in the Parents Anonymous®
Group, the children participate in the
Children’s Program at the same time and
location. Children engage in a variety of rich,
fun, hands-on activities that stimulate their
emotional and social growth and development.
Parents Anonymous®
Children’s Programs are supervised by qualified
Children’s Program Workers trained on the
proven effective Parents Anonymous®
model based on National
Standards. The Children’s Program is
a unique opportunity for children of all ages
to learn from one another and to reach their
full potential within their homes, schools and
communities. |
