Parents of young children are invited to attend the free parenting classes that the Library co-sponsors with Santa Clara Unified School District and other local agencies. Two classes will be offered next week:- Monday, January 12, at 7:00 p.m. in the Cedar Room--Jean Wilson, Santa Clara Unified School District parent educator and preschool instructor, will present a parenting program, "Is My Child Ready for Kindergarten?" She will help parents determine whether or not their child is ready to enter a kindergarten program, or whether he or she would benefit from an extra year in a presechool setting. She will examine various aspects of physical and emotional development that are important for children who are entering kindergarten.
- Tuesday, January 13, at 7:00 p.m. in the Cedar Room--"Sibling Solutions," will be presented by Hand in Hand, a Bay Area organization based in Palo Alto that fosters healthy parent-child relationships. This program will help parents find solutions for some of the sibling rivalry situations that are present in many families.
Reserve a space in the parenting programs by visiting the Youth Services desk or by calling 408-615-2916.
