Barstow Acres Children’s Center
Announces Spring Social Skills/Parent Coaching
Schedule for Children and Teens


Barstow Acres Children’s Center in Prince Frederick announces its Spring schedule of classes. Beginning Wednesday, April 15, 2009, for children ages 4 to 8, and Thursday, April 16 for teens, age 12 to 15, Barstow will offer Social Skills training, which includes: identifying personal strengths, coping skills and anger management, communication skills, conflict resolution, and much more. As the training for the young people occurs, parents are involved in Parent Coaching sessions that include: understanding and identifying the goals of behavior, communicating effectively, discipline using consequences (rather than rewards and punishments), creating a positive family environment, and more.

Art therapist, Denise Weller, and parent educator, Becky Lebow, are the instructors. The program, based on what they call “The Barstow Model,” has been effective in turning around behaviors in the home and helping parents bring sanity back into their homes when things may have gotten off track. Weller and Lebow are trained to work with families who are dealing with ADHD, Autism/Aspergers, and other challenges.

Sessions will run for 6 weeks. The cost for the program is $240.00. Barstow does not accept insurance, but funding may be available through various agencies. Call for details.

To register for either session, call Barstow Acres Children’s Center at 410-414-9901. Space is limited. (Space may still be available for the Monday sessions for children ages 8 to 12. Call now if you are interested).
