Caring for Children
If you're a parent or child care
professional (or want to become one), if you want to
improve your child care skills, this course will
teach you how to care for the children in your life
with confidence and ease. You'll learn how to keep
children safe, how to create an effective learning
environment in your home, how to encourage healthy
habits, and how to promote physical activity. You
will discover techniques to help children
communicate, solve problems, develop social skills,
and build self-esteem. You'll also learn quick and
easy ways to give yourself time to re-connect and
meet your own needs.
Understanding Adolescents Course
In this course, an experienced social worker will help you gain
a deep understanding and appreciation of your adolescent's
development and behavior. You'll uncover the secrets of the
adolescent mind and gain valuable information on how they think,
how they feel, and how their identities develop.
Parenting The Normal Teen
Parenting the Normal Teen is a
faith-based parenting class designed to empower and
support parents and children as they navigate the
storms of adolescence. Religious affiliation is not
a prerequisite for either taking or benefiting from
the class. The class is, however, permeated with
Christian principles which are embraced across
denominational lines. Parents of preteens wishing to
prepare themselves during the
"calm-before-the-storm," as well as parents who are
in the midst of the normal storms of adolescence
will want to take this class.
Solution Focused Parenting with Difficult Teens
This is a hands-on, how-to-do-it
course that is under girded by sound theory, but it
is not a theoretical course. The principles and
techniques have been tested in the laboratory of
life. Solution Focused Parenting with Difficult
Teens was originally developed for parents of
teens who had been placed in residential treatment
facilities by the state, but it will work with any
teenager. You will learn how to close the door on
past failures, search for solutions that are a
best-fit for you--not some make-believe parent and
child--how to form and implement change plans, and
how to avoid the seven traps that kids set for their
parents. In one sense, all teens are difficult.
That's part of the growing up process
How To Parent A Teenager
As parents it's sometimes difficult to know where you
stand with teenagers? As children they looked up to you for everything,
now they want you to drop them round the corner so you won't embarrass
them in front of their friends! But they still need love and support and
someone to listen to them.
It has been said that parenting is the most difficult
job, and the most important responsibility, you will ever have in your
life. Unfortunately, you receive little or no formal training in
parenting, yet you are constantly criticized for every mistake you make.
Usually, we either do what our parents did, or we do the exact opposite,
depending on our opinion of the parenting we received.
How Kids Grow: Defining Normal Behavior
If we know what to expect at each stage of development,
it is easier to decide if our child's behavior is "normal." These stages
are approximate. The age isn't as important as the progression. Some
children reach a stage faster, some reach it slower.
Raising children is one of the toughest and most
fulfilling jobs in the world - and the one for which you may feel the
least prepared. Here are some ways to tackle your child-rearing
responsibilities that will help you feel more fulfilled as a parent, and
enjoy your children more, too.
General Guidelines for Parenting
My basic rule of parenting is: There are no rules. The
same thing will not work for everybody and things that work for nearly
everybody won't always work. By experience, I've found that it is better
to prevent problems than solve them. The following guidelines are as
close to "rules" as I care to get.
