In 1998, Boys Town Nevada began its Common Sense Parenting Program. Common Sense Parenting is a practical skill-based parenting program that can be applied to every family. The program’s logical strategies and easy-to-learn techniques address issues of communication, discipline, decision-making, relationships, self-control and school success. These classes incorporate proven methods that were researched and developed at the original Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Home. Each skill and technique parents learn can be adapted and applied to any home environment and will help build and reinforce healthy family relationships. All classes are offered free to anyone in the community.
