Sharpening Your Skills

Before becoming a parent, you imagine what it will be like to raise a son or daughter from infancy to adulthood.  For most of us, the imagined can never quite compare with parental expectation or reality.

First time and even veteran parents have doubts, fears, anxieties, concerns, and questions.  Throughout this part of our website, you will learn new information and find new ideas.  You will take comfort in knowing that you are not alone in your challenges and feel reassured about all the things that you are doing well! 

While there are parenting books, friends, family, and even the Internet available for you, there is much information to sort through and sometimes it helps to find professional parenting advice in the form of classes and workshops.  Action for Children is your source for parent education programs.  Our instructors are teachers and social workers.  Most are parents, and some even grandparents, themselves.  Learn more . . .
