Proud Linden Parent Program
The Proud Linden Parent Program is a free program for parents or caregivers of children ages 2 to 8 living in the Linden neighborhood.
We are building a community where Linden parents and caregivers can connect with each other and learn skills and techniques for raising young children.
What Is Covered in the Program?
We review a new topic each week during the 11-week program. Some topics include:
- Parental stress
- Problem solving with other adults in our kids’ lives
- Say what you mean and mean what you say
- Giving praise and encouragement
- Routines and traditions
- Child-centered time
During our time together, we watch videos of real parents and their kids and discuss, learn new strategies, role play and problem solve together.
When Does the Program Take Place?
The program meets at the Linden Recreation Center for up to 2 hours per week for 11 weeks, followed by a graduation ceremony.
What Do Attendees Get for Participating?
- Incentives for participating and completing practices at home each week
- Incentives for completing three different surveys
- Meals for the whole family
- Connection with other caregivers and resources
- Programming for children
Who Can Participate?
Parents and caregivers of young children (ages 2-8) who live in Linden (43211 and 43224) can participate.
Can You Bring Kids? Is Programming for Children Available?
