Parenting Now!™

Parenting Now!^TM is an adaptation of Make Parenting a Pleasure® designed for any parents of children ages 0–6. The parenting program aims to help parents build healthy relationships with their children and to help families identify and pursue value-based goals for children to succeed and thrive. The Parenting Now! curriculum teaches child development and parenting skills. 

Parenting Educators deliver Parenting Now! to groups of parents in 7 sessions. The group format is essential to program delivery so that parents can connect with other parents, normalize their experience, and build a support network. During the sessions, Parenting Educators use discussion and activities to teach parents key concepts such as stress management, communication skills, foundations of discipline, positive discipline strategies, and strategies for addressing challenging behaviors. After each session, parents complete a “home practice assignment” intended to help them apply the knowledge and skills from the session in their own life.
