    1. When I find out about one I will post it. The Incredible Years class beginning on April 10th is geared towards families with children ages 2 - 8. The class is to teach parents how to strengthen children's social and emotional regulation skills, implement positive discipline, handle misbehavior, use age appropriate incentives, teach children to problem solve, and use play to strengthen their relationship with their child.
