Grace United Methodist Church is offering two programs this fall of interest to the general community. Systematic Training For Effective Parenting (STEP) offers down-to-earth practical ways to end parent-child conflict.
In each of the two-hour sessions basic skills of effective parenting will be discussed: • how to recognize goals of misbehavior how to encourage children • how listening enhances communication • how to offer alternatives • how to discipline • how to run a family meeting • how to deal with shyness, tattling, tantrums, messiness, and dozens of other parent-child challenges In addition to the above, dramatized parent-child situations will be presented through audio cassettes that will help to focus the discussion on some common child-rearing problems.
The course will begin on Sept. 21 and run through Nov. 16, and will meet on Monday eve-1 flings from 7 to 9 p.m.
The instructor will be Grace’s minister, Dr. Larry Gallamore. Dr. Gallamore has taught STEP for the past seven years in churches, community centers, schools, and social service agencies.
While Dr. Gallamore was a Doctoral student at Drew University, he was introduced to STEP by Dr. Gary McKay, one of the authors of the program. Jay Dearing will lead a seminar/discussion group structured around Denis Waitley’s book, Seeds of Greatness: The 10 Best-Kept Secrets of Total Success.
The Ten are: Adaptability, Communication, Creativity, Faith, Perserverance, Purpose, Responsibility, SelfEsteem and Wisdom.
The subject matter is appropriate for not only young, careeroriented adults, but also for more mature people who will be better able to evaluate themselves and progress accordingly.
The class should provide a good forum for learning and sharing mutual concerns and situations as well as to provide a solid basis for self-examination. Goal-setting, behaviormodification, fulfillment, and self-actualization will be made more attainable through the teachings and support of the group study program.
The course will run for twelve weeks on Sunday mornings beginning on Sept. 13.
Although part of regular adult Sunday education, the program is open to anyone in the community who is interested.
For further information on either the STEP program or the “success” seminar, call the church office at 863-1992.
