The Readiness To Learn Foundation will host the six-session class “Grounded For Life!”

Facilitated by school psychologist Katharine Pfeiffer, this series is for parents of wild and wonderful preteen children ages 9-13. Sessions will tackle this developmental terrain using excerpts from the books “Get Out Of My Life but first could you drive me and Cheryl to the Mall?” and “Scream-Free Parenting.” This class will address the befuddling, hilarious, sometimes enraging behaviors parents experience as their children head into adolescence.

The sessions are 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, April 12 through May 17 in Room C-3 in the former  primary school. A light, complimentary dinner will be served at 5:30 p.m., and limited childcare is available upon request. Childcare is provided at the South Whidbey Children’s Center on school grounds.

This series is made possible by a grant from Children’s Trust Foundation.

To sign up, and for directions, call 221-0484 or 221-6808, ext. 4602.
