Following a successful first class focusing on babies, the Galveston County Health District (GCHD) is happy to offer a free 12-week class for parents, guardians and caregivers of toddlers, ages 1-3.

The class, called The Incredible Years, is a collaboration between GCHD and the Galveston New Parenting Initiative. Classes will be held Mondays from June 12 to August 28 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the GCHD WIC classroom, located at 9850-B Emmett F. Lowry Expressway in Texas City.

“It’s no secret that toddlers can be a handful,” said Tiffany Rice, GCHD WIC program manager. “This class is a great opportunity for parents and caregivers to learn about development, behavior, nutrition, emotion, communication and other factors that go into caring for a child of this exciting and sometimes challenging age.”

Free diapers and a meal will be offered at every class. Class size is limited, so registration is required by calling 281-534-3569 or 409-949-3471 or emailing cscott@fscgal.org.
