FREE Parenting Counts Workshops

Every parent wants to know if they are doing the right things for their children. But how do you know what they need or what is good for them? After all, kids don't come with instruction manuals! So where do you go for information you can trust? We hope Parenting Counts is your answer.

Parenting Counts is a family of educational materials sponsored by Talaris which provide research-based information about how children think, feel, and learn and supports parents with examples of best parenting practices.

KLRU received an outreach grants for the 2008/2009 School Year from Talaris Institute This marks the fourth year of Talaris’ supporting PBS outreach.

KLRU is working in partnership with Family Connections, Austin ISD and Read Pre Kindergarten Demonstration School to bring Parenting Counts information and materials directly to parents via workshops at various locations.
