interested person or professional is invited. Parents involved in a divorce, motion to
modify, or other suits involving the parent/child relationship may be required by the
court to attend.
When and where are the seminars
held? Currently, twice each month at Practical
Parent Education, 1300 19th Street, Plano, Texas. Plans are underway to add additional
