ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) -- Parents and children's advocates will gather at a South Carolina school to learn parenting tips and recognize state leaders.
The annual conference at South Carolina State University is entitled "Parents Leading the Way" and opens Friday on the Orangeburg campus.
Workshop topics include bullying prevention, Internet safety, children's health, sibling rivalry, and how to be involved in a child's education. Sessions on improving home literacy will be held in both English and Spanish.
