Branson Public Schools is introducing a new program aimed at parents of preteens, designed to equip them with essential skills to support their children during this pivotal stage of development. The "Parenting Preteens" classes will focus on various topics relevant to the unique challenges faced by both parents and preteens, including communication strategies, emotional support, and managing peer relationships.
As children transition into adolescence, parents often find it difficult to maintain open lines of communication. This program aims to bridge that gap by providing parents with the tools they need to foster healthy relationships with their preteens. Sessions will cover a range of subjects, from understanding the emotional changes that preteens experience to practical advice on setting boundaries and encouraging positive behavior.
The initiative reflects the school district's commitment to supporting families and enhancing the overall well-being of students. By empowering parents with knowledge and resources, Branson Public Schools hopes to create a more nurturing environment for preteens as they navigate the complexities of growing up.
