LIMA, OH (WLIO) - No one ever said parenting is easy, and the West Ohio Community Action Partnership is looking for some "MVPs."
WOCAP is currently forming its "Most Valuable Parent" classes.
WOCAP is currently forming its "Most Valuable Parent" classes. It's a free program for parents and caregivers of minor kids in Allen, Auglaize, and Mercer counties. Participants attend a series of workshops that will address topics such as stress, anger management, and creating family rules and boundaries.
Organizers say it's not a typical parenting class as there is no lecture, finger-pointing, or blame with the focus on helping your children.

"Kids are struggling with a lot of things these days. So the more we can do to make life accommodating somewhat to them, the better. Because they have a whole host of things that they don't know how to face as children. It's our job as parents to try and address these issues and create a buffer if we can. Educate ourselves and treat them accordingly," said Michael VanBrocklin, mentor coach of the MVP series.
