Parent Academy to teach about raising socially responsible children
The Upland Unified School District and the Upland Council of PTAs are offering a free parent academy from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Dec. 1 at the Upland High School Auditorium, 565 W. 11th Street.
Michelle Borba will be speaking about "Parenting For Character: Raising Socially Responsible Kids Who Do The Right Thing."
The session will teach parents proven strategies that boost empathy, conscience as well as self-control and discipline techniques.
Borba will also teach essential character-building skills that will help children say no, solve problems, think before acting and consider the needs of others.
The session is based on Borba's book, "Building Moral Intelligence," which was chosen by Amazon as a "Top Ten Parenting Book of the year."
Child care will not be provided.
