Parenting a strong-willed child is the topic of a parent workshop scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 14, in the Botetourt Elementary School library. The workshop begins with a quick pizza dinner at 6 p.m. followed by the workshop from 6:15 to 7 o’clock. Child care can be provided with reservations.

Strong-willed children are spirited and courageous and a challenge to parent, a release said. They want to learn things for themselves rather than accepting what others say, so they test the limits over and over. 

If sensitively parented, strong-willed children can become terrific teens and young adults. In this workshop, parents will hear tips to help their strong-willed children grow into the natural leaders they are meant to be, the release stated.

The workshop is limited to 30 participants and child care can be accommodated with registration by Jan. 10. To reserve a space, contact Valerie Lewis at v.lewis@gc.k12.va.us or 804-693-0654. 

The workshop will be facilitated by Jen...
