Anyone ever taken a parenting class?

I'm seriously considering it but have no idea where to start.

Anybody know of a class/facility/website they recommend?

I know Beech Acres Parenting Center does workshops with all different topics and they only cost like $15 each.

And, if you wanted, I'd be happy to join you! I'm always up for brushing up my skills

This! I've never taken one but I was a therapeutic group specialist at Beech Acres and I've seen some of the curriculums and they are pretty good! Plus all the parent educators are great!

ETA: I helped work/put together the For Love of Kids workshop one year and DID sit in on some of those (I wasn't a parent yet at the time) but they were really interesting! I would highly recommend attending that conference if it hasn't already occurred yet.

I know the advocacy center offers one that's for parenting typical (non-abused) children and I think it's associated with Children's Hospital. I'll have to take a closer look at the brochure when I go to therapy next week.
