August 6, 2007, Canton, MI - The Canton Police Department and Canton Leisure Services are partnering together to present their third Positive Parenting seminar on Monday, September 17, 2007, from 6-7:30 p.m., at Canton’s Summit on the Park.

This third in a series of informative parenting seminars will focus on bullying and cyberbulling.  Guest speaker Robert Hayes, Director of Student Services for Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, will provide information to help parents of children and teens deal with this negative behavior.  The criminal elements of bullying and cyberbulling will also be discussed by Canton Police Department’s Community Relations Coordinator Sergeant Deb Newsome. 

“We’ve had an outstanding turnout for the first two seminars and hope to continue,” says Newsome.  “The parents have been very interested in the topics, and had a lot of questions,” she adds. 

Parents attending the presentation are also invited to bring their children to enjoy activities and Summit facilities free of charge.  Child care will be provided in the following manner:  Ages 3 & under will be supervised in the Kids Corner; ages 4-6 may swim as long as an older sibling is present (otherwise, an alternative activity will be provided) and ages 7 & up are welcome to swim.  Ages and activity intentions will be asked upon registration.  Parents are invited to join their kids afterward for some family fun!

The seminar is free of charge, but seating is limited.  Canton residents interested in attending should stop by or call the Summit front desk at 394-5460, by September 13, for reservations.
