MSU Extension to Offer “Guiding Principles for Highly Successful Parenting” Webinar Series

July 13, 2026 - 22:06

Parents and caregivers seeking practical tools and fresh perspectives are invited to join an upcoming five-part webinar series from Michigan State University Extension designed to support families. The program, titled "Guiding Principles for Highly Successful Parenting," will cover core strategies for raising confident and resilient children.

Each session focuses on a different aspect of parenting, including building strong communication, setting appropriate boundaries, and fostering emotional intelligence. The series is built around research-based methods that help adults understand child development and respond to challenging behaviors with patience and clarity.

Experts from MSU Extension will lead the discussions, offering real-world examples and answering participant questions. The webinars are structured to be accessible for busy families, with sessions held in the evening to accommodate work and school schedules.

Organizers emphasize that the series is not about rigid rules but about adaptable principles that fit a variety of family structures and cultural backgrounds. Whether dealing with toddlers or teenagers, attendees can expect to leave each session with actionable steps to improve their home environment.

Registration is open now, and there is a modest fee to cover materials. No previous parenting class experience is required. The goal is to provide a supportive space where caregivers can learn, share experiences, and feel more confident in their daily interactions with children.
