Are you a Parenting Instructor, Social Worker, Marriage & Family Therapist, Public Health Nurse, Drug & Alcohol Counselor, School Teacher, Early childhood Educator?
Do you ever wish there was a way to get parents to actually practice at home what you teach them?
A way to make them feel involved, not talked down to?
A method for helping them develop the skills they desperately need at home?
A program where you teach parents something life-changing each week, then give them homework after each lesson where they figure out “all by themselves” how to implement at home what you just taught them, and then have them come back the next week to tell the class how they did it.
So what did we do to make this possible?
A more carefully chosen and up-to-date Curriculum Design (“what to teach”), and an advanced Instructional Design (“how to teach it”).
We use a lot of visual learning, which helps everybody
Obviously, there will be times when a parent just doesn’t understand what to do because of stress or other problems. Most of those parents come to a quick understanding when they hear the other parents in your class talk about how they resolved their situations.
Occasionally that is just not enough for them, so what works then? Recap your previous lesson but with the actual names of that parent’s family members so it is totally personal. That takes care of nearly all the parents who didn’t understand it immediately.
But there can be a few parents occasionally (<1%) who just don’t get it no matter what you do.
Stumped? Not a chance. We teach a unique method based on solid psychological research that helps you “mess with their minds” a little.
So does that really work? We have been using it ourselves for more than 30 years, and have been teaching it for 25 years to parenting instructors all across the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Australia & New Zealand, and many countries in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. We have even been teaching DCFS/DCF/CPS etc. staff across the U.S.
