The YMCA and CentraCare have partnered to offer parenting classes on two effective approaches backed by research. Parenting the Love and Logic Way provides practical, easy-to-use techniques that help prepare kids for the real world while assisting parents with developing healthy and respectful relationships with their children. Additionally, Love and Logic: Adults Supporting Youth with Challenging Pasts offers a trauma-informed approach to raising children. 1-2-3 Magic offers a simple and effective procedure for setting limits in addition to helping parents reinforce positive behavior in children between the ages of 2-12.
