The “Make Parenting a Pleasure” curriculum (for parents of children aged 0-10) has several unique features that make it effective for the universal parent/guardian:
-It is designed to teach parents positive parenting to alleviate stress and create connected relationships.
-The program utilizes nationwide evidence based techniques to improve the lives of families.
-It is a family based intervention where parents and their children (in child care) learn similar knowledge and skills for improving the quality of their lives.
-There are built in assessment strategies to allow facilitators and parents to chart the course of their successes.
-There is flexibility within the structure of the program to allow facilitator(s) to ensure the specific needs of families are being met.
-The nurturing philosophy of non-violent parenting focuses on the development of empathy, self-worth, self-awareness, empowerment, discipline with dignity, appropriate family roles and age-appropriate expectations of children’s development.
-Lesson guides, DVDs, parent handbooks, and assessment inventories provide the facilitator(s) with individual lessons designed to promote individual and family growth. Many learning styles are able to be accommodated with interesting presentations each week.
-Parents and children learn how to play games, sing songs and have fun as a family.
The Make Parenting a Pleasure® curriculum is a nationally recognized, evidence-based curriculum. It is research-based and evidence-informed.
