Family Centered Parenting® Program

Rule Setting with Ownership: Engage your children in the rule-setting process. When rules are negotiated and co-created, children feel a sense of ownership, leading to more willing compliance.

Balancing Personal and Family Time: It’s essential for parents to carve out time for themselves. Through structured family meetings, find a balance that respects everyone’s needs.

Preventing High-Risk Behaviors: Start the conversation about substance abuse and other high-risk behaviors early. Use structured family discussions to prepare your children for the choices they’ll face.

Effective Communication: Seek to understand before being understood. This principle ensures that every family member feels heard and valued.

Recognizing Bullying Signs: Equip yourself with the knowledge to spot the signs of bullying and empower your child with strategies to handle such situations.

The Power of Praise: Recognize and reward positive behaviors intermittently. Authentic praise boosts a child’s self-esteem and encourages the repetition of desired behaviors.

Discipline vs. Punishment: Understand the difference. Discipline is about teaching and guiding, while punishment is about retribution.

Navigating the Teenage Years: Adolescence is a challenging phase. Equip yourself with strategies to communicate effectively, set boundaries, and understand the evolving needs of your teenager.

Owning Up to Mistakes: Demonstrating accountability in front of your children teaches them resilience, responsibility, and the reality that everyone makes mistakes.

Engaging with Educators: Build a constructive relationship with your child’s teachers. Open communication and collaboration ensure your child’s academic and personal success.
