The Huntington Beach HeadStart Family Resource Center along with

Cuidar for Attention and Learning is offering a free course for

parents who want to learn to cope with their child’s behavioral

issues.

The 10-session program is designed to help parents with

preschool-aged children, 3 to 5, who have problems paying attention

or difficulty sitting still.

The course is free and will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. from

Tuesday to April 5 at the Boys & Girls Club of Huntington Beach, 9191

Pioneer Drive.

The course will teach parents the skills to handle their child’s

attention or behavior problems, and if necessary, the children can

come to the Cuidar clinic for further evaluation, said Shahrzad

Woodard of the clinic.

“They learn the skills to deal with children and understand why

the child behaves this way,” Woodard said.

To enroll in the class parents can call the Boys & Girls Club of

Huntington Beach at (714) 964-4526 or Cuidar for Attention and

Learning at (949) 824-2462.
