Parenting can be a very rewarding experience, but it can also be very difficult at times. Children do not come with instructions and many people who become parents do so with little or no formal training. Many parents do not have the support of family members living in the area or may not have had appropriate parenting models growing up. All parents -- and their children -- deserve the support and guidance a Nuturing Parenting class offers.
The Family Tree Center offers 4 different parenting classes (babies, toddlers, grade-schoolers, and adolescents) utilizing the evidence-based best practice Nuturing Parenting Curriculum. Classes meet two hours a week for fifteen weeks and cover topics such as:
Empathy,
Brain development,
Child development,
Discipline,
Safety,
Family morals and values,
Family rules,
Drug and alcohol abuse,
Stress and anger management,
Routines, and
Problem solving.
Highlights include:
Free childcare and dinner for children
Snacks for the parents
Family interaction time during each class
Activities for grade-school age children and older where they learn, at their level, the same information their parents are learning
Classes are offered at no charge to all self-referred parents and for a nominal fee of $10 per class for parents who need a certificate
Materials fee is $20
If you are interested in these classes: Contact Tonia at 406-252-9799 or email the Family Tree Center office at ftcoffice@qwestoffice.net.

This group is designed for parents who are dealing with specific challenges usually encountered once their adoptees are settled in (~ 1 year or more into the adoption), for parents with challenging children and interested others. CONNECT (formerly Together in Parenting) is a process-based support group lead by a licensed therapist that gives parents a venue in which to form an emotional connection with other parents experiencing similar issues with their children. Each month, we address concerns of parents who are present via peer support and therapeutic suggestions. Parents who are experiencing challenging times with their children find the support of other parents who have been on the adoption and parenting journey for some time to be invaluable.Therapeutic suggestions are offered when appropriate and helpful. For parents who need the support of other families who are at the beginning of the adoption journey and who would like information and the camaraderie of other families at the same early stage in the process, we offer the EQUIP support group. Please download the full brochure for more information. Child care will be available if this is determined to be a need of the group. Who CONNECT is for: For Adoptive Parents, Parents with Challenging Children Interested Others When:
