Basic Parenting Programme
The Basic
Parenting Programme is designed to promote positive strategies and to assist
parents in managing children’s behaviour problems. This programme includes:
play, helping children learn, positive reinforcement, limit setting, non-physical
discipline alternatives, problem solving, effective communication skills and
supporting children’s education. Group therapy process issues such as
empowering parents, collaborating, dealing with resistance, confronting and
teaching, supporting and advocating for parents will be discussed. This intervention
programme is used by professionals (therapists and parent educators from psychology,
social work, education, nursing and psychiatry) who are working with families
of young children with conduct problems (ages 4-10 years),or with single parents,
abusive parents, and teenage parents. The workshop teaches how to use this
programme as a prevention programme in elementary schools and pre-schools.
Attending this workshop is the first step in becoming a certified group leader.
