United Way and Parents as Teachers are presenting a two-hour class on effective discipline of children in a program called “Conscious Discipline.” Debbie Kunz says Conscious Discipline empowers children to make good decisions and feel good about themselves. It makes parents ask what kind of environment they’re creating at home, whether it encourages children to work with parents.

The class will be led by a certified Conscious Discipline instructor. There’s no charge to attend. It’ll be held Friday night from 6 to 8 pm at the Keatley Center, 1202 South 28th Street.
