Parenting

Parenting

Relationships matter. In providing guidance to kids current research tells us that good relationships are key to healthy development and healthy families. When parents and kids are connected, kids are more willing to accept suggestions, ask for help and discuss options.

BGC Parenting Programs are based on the belief that all families have the ability to make positive changes in their family relationships.
