Nurturing Parenting® is an evidence-based method intended to improve the ways a parent interacts with a child. To nurture is to promote the growth and development of positive traits while respecting and caring for yourself and others. What parents do matters so much in the life of children. Some class offerings are:
1. Nurturing Parenting® Principles: Describes the seven principles of nurturing parenting, and focuses on helping parents realize their ability to impact children's emotional development. Discusses ways to become nurturing parents. 2. Praising Children and Their Behavior: Increases parental understanding of praising children for both BEING (love and acceptance just because you are you!) and DOING (praise for doing a good job or making a good effort!); two separate concepts. 3. Understanding Feelings: Helps parents learn to recognize feelings in themselves and their children. Teaches parents to help children manage their feelings, and the actions that follow. 4. Building Self-worth and Self-esteem: Helps parents to realize their ability to influence their children's overall feelings and worth. Focuses on assigning responsibility that leads to personal responsibility. 5. Stress Management for Parents: Defines stress, and identifies ways adults create it within their lives. Learn practical ways to reduce stress for the parents and children. Discusses the disadvantage of long-term stress on health and well-being. 6. Anger Management: Anger is a universal emotion. Everyone gets angry at times, but many people have trouble dealing with their feelings of anger. We can't avoid feeling angry in certain situations, but we can learn some better ways to manage our anger. It will NOT count as court-ordered anger management. |
