A counselor will offer free advice to parents next month on how to cope with tears, tantrums and other aggravations without getting angry. The seminar, sponsored by the Fullerton-based nonprofit Western Youth Services, also will cover how parents can avoid letting their adult issues affect how they respond to their children. Registration is required for the class, which runs from 7 to 9 p.m. May 10 at the Community Center, 695 E. Madison Way. Reservations and information: (714) 990-7159.
