The Bess Choice! Parenting U.
Workshops for Parents

In today's world, parents of young children have an awesome job coupled with a huge responsibility. The stress of everyday life in conjunction with the speed of familial, social, and media changes can be quite discombobulating. Add to the equation the major as well as minute daily changes that accompany the growth and development of children and one can simply become overwhelmed. That's when it is a great idea to reach out to others who might have answers to the questions that inevitably arise within the young family.
​
That's why The Bess Choice! Parenting U. has created education programs to support today's families. The many questions about typical early childhood development, family dynamics, effective communication, positive discipline and guidance, social and emotional support, the parent(s) - child(ren) relationships, coping with stress, and other equally important queries can make our days seem harder and harder to manage.
When parents gather together to learn, or when an Early Care and Learning Program hosts a Parent Education Event, featuring Cindy Rzasa Bess, the picture on the puzzle becomes clear. Discovering the helpful information that comes with understanding child development and family dynamics can really impact a family for the better. After all, your baby didn't come with a manual, right? So, do the next best thing and learn from someone who knows, and delights in discussing the varied facts related to the teeny people in your lives.
