Why take parent education classes?
In recent studies, parents who attended parent education classes reported less behavior problems in their young children and an increased positive parental response. In the US, researchers have found that programs to help parents develop confidence and parenting skills have helped to improve their children's schoolwork, and exam results. Further, parent participation in various parent education classes contributes to the development of children into healthy, mature adults.
The “Parenting Duo”
Parenting is a duet, while one sings the other claps!
For a child, one of the most significant relationships is that between his mother and father. Parenting young children can be very rewarding yet one of the most challenging tasks, especially when trying to do it together. The “Parenting Duo” workshop can help parents meet the challenge! This workshop helps parents collaborate while learning the different parenting styles and adapting to proven principles and techniques of parenting young children. Parents who have positive and effective relationships with each other become more effective in their roles as parents. The “Parenting Duo” workshop is designed to support and inform parents with practical activities and techniques in communications, discipline, and problem solving unique to young children.
While parenting can be very rewarding it is one of the most challenging tasks one can face. CPR helps parents meet those challenges by providing practical expertise tailored to each family's specific needs.
