NORWICH – Frustrated parents who deal with the everyday obstacles of raising a stong-willed teenager are being offered a helping hand as the Chenango County Youth Bureau sponsors the second installment of the Parent Project.

Free classes will be offered as part of the Chenango County Parent Project beginning Oct. 10. Classes will be held on a weekly basis for ten weeks, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the board room of the Norwich Family YMCA. All parents are welcome to attend this free-tuition course, but early registration is required by Wednesday, Oct. 3.

“This (class) is meant for anybody willing to deal with a strong-willed child and I think every child is strong-willed at times,” said Youth Bureau Director Kathy Clemens. “This program has been very successful in the past. It’s a support group between the parents who are participating in the program and it can help alleviate potential of ever getting into difficulties.”
