Positive Parenting

I didn't think the positive parenting course was mandatory. At least it's not mandatory here in Pinellas county. I do know that you can take it as part of your yearly re-licensing or if you'd like take courses at [url=http://www.fosterparentcollege.com/]SocialLearning.com, Foster Parent College[/url] we're allowed to do this as long as we document and provide proof that we've taken the 16 hours of training required for re-licensing. Just check with your licensing specialist.

Our licensing specialist was out today and confirmed what I wrote. We also found out that by reading these posts and learning what others have gone through is considered training as well. Who would have thunk :-)

Thanks. They were pretty clear that it was mandatory although I wish it weren't. I'm not excited about the additional time especially since they didn't tell us about until the orientation last week even though I was "approved" for this course in early January. I'll have to check on the online training since I'm a avid lurker! That would be an advantage.

Ugh, that just doesn't seem fair. We've touched a bit on positive parenting in our MAPP classes in Duval county, but I guess that's all we need in their opinion. I am actually reading books about it. I wish you had that option.
