Description
The Bringing up Great Kids was developed by the Australian Childhood Foundation. The theoretical underpinnings of the program derive from a child-centred perspective, neurobiology of trauma and attachment, narrative and solution focused therapy and a strengths perspective.
This 6-session parenting program supports parents and carers to:
- Learn more about the origins of their own parenting style and how it can be more effective
- Identify the important messages they want to convey to the children in their care and how to achieve this
- Learn more about brain development in children and its influence on their thoughts, feelings and behaviour
- Understand the meaning of children’s behaviour
- Discover how to overcome some of the obstacles getting in the way of them being the kind of parents they would like to be
- Discover ways for parents to take care of themselves and to find support when they need it
