The City of Mission Viejo for the last several years has offered the 10-week program that was created for parents with difficult or out-of-control adolescent children.

Parents will learn proven tools and tactics to deal with poor grades, teen social trends, and they’ll learn to understand teens use of technology. Mission Viejo deputy sheriff’s, including several of the School Resource Officers, receive 40 hours of training to facilitate the program, which caters to parents with kids in different stages of life. Deputies teaching the program can address every issue parents may have with their children to help them build better relationships. The first six classes of the 10-week program take place on Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with the rest ending an hour earlier at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way. Cost is $20 per person or $30 per couple. Space is limited, so register today by calling 949-470-8433.
