There is no instruction manual to parenting and the FRC aims to provide the best guidance towards raising children in a healthy environment to promote strong families and communities. Active Parenting is going beyond the basic needs and taking family relationships to a deeper level so that children learn to grow to be confident, productive, and responsible adults. FRC Educators provide guidance and resources to help parents interact with their children to reach these goals.

In this class, you will focus on how to meet the needs of children growing up between two homes. Topics will include addressing issues that arise during co-parenting, how to keep children away from that conflict, and focusing on developmental needs of the children.

Regardless of the relationship, parent to child, employer to employee, husband to wife, neighbor to neighbor, there will be differing values and conflicting styles. Negotiating a resolution to conflict includes a willingness to listen, to compromise, to accommodate, and/or to collaborate.

FRC recognizes that conflict is a daily part of a life and that consideration for others is a part of all resolution. Conflict Resolution approaches this with regard to others to turn a negative into a highly rewarding means to improve relationships. Classes structured to expand this positive change can strengthen bonds in families, increase community involvement, and contribute to more meaningful interactions in all areas.

Relationships that are healthy begin with mutual regard resulting in positive behaviors towards each other. Developing trust, honesty, independence, respect, and equality begins with exploration of mutual objectives being met even when values or views are different. Commitment to these common goals could be in a work relationship, a marriage, a friendship, or parent and children relationships.

FRC classes help to develop this awareness through exploration of many difference scenarios and pathways to achieve lifetime objectives and habits.

Addiction Educators will use instructional and interactive strategies to create a dynamic that engages client learning and change. We look at how addiction affects the whole family and focus on how to identify addictive behaviors and provide resources for treatment and change.
