Managing Children’s Behavior

This is an 8-week parenting group for parents of youth ages 6-11 whose noncompliant behavior happens more than their peers, interferes with home life, and causes the child or parent distress.

This program is ideal for parents and guardians who want to learn how to manage their children’s behavior more successfully while maintaining a positive relationship.

Summer 2026 hours for in-person consultation at the Southington Public Library will be posted mid-June. Stop in and find us near the Children’s section.

Virtual drop-in also will be posted mid-June.
