Questions?<br>
slide3. Why focus on parenting? To help parents integrate exercise, healthy eating, good sleep habits, and eliminate fast foods in their lives.
To give parents more effective child rearing techniques.
To make it easier to get their children to change their behavior.
To decrease parent stress - increasing their time and energy to make changes.<br>
slide4. Key Parenting Workshop Outcomes If a parent enjoyed the session or appeared to learn a lot but wasn't able to change their behaviors at home,
the session failed.
If a parent struggled with the previous session but was able to do at least some homework effectively,
the session succeeded.<br>
slide5. Effective Parenting Workshops<br>
slide6. Tips on Hosting a Parenting Reflection Session… Always ask first for parents to share who had some success trying the Healthy Family Challenge from last week.
Starting with successes is key because:
Sets the tone that the strategies are doable and helpful.
Serves as motivational review for parents who missed previous sessions.
Listening to parents who didn’t try anything at home first:
Can make other parents feel bad about sharing successes.
May make it seem impossible to try at home.<br>
slide7. 3 Types of Child Behaviors These workshops help parents decide how to act quickly and consistently:
Acting consistently improves child behavior<br>
slide8. PARENTING OBJECTIVES – Workshop 1 PRAISE<br>
slide9. Evidence Base for Praise Praise is the first module because we found that it engages parents in the program.
Key Components of Praise:<br>
slide10. PARENTING OBJECTIVES – Workshop 2 COMMANDS<br>
slide11. Evidence Base for Commands Young children like to follow simple, clear commands
Simple, clear commands are more effective than vague commands
“Start” commands are more effective than “stop” commands
Eye contact before and immediately after the command improves effectiveness
Neutral voice tone avoids escalating and reciprocating negatives<br>
slide12. PARENTING OBJECTIVES – Workshop 3 MORNING & EVENING ROUTINES<br>
slide13. Building a Good Routine Scheduling the parent and child is the first step to get through troublesome times of the day.
A good routine:
Gives parent and child enough time to complete tasks
Parent is not trying to rush the child faster than he can go
Puts steps in the best order
One step helps the next
Puts parents and children in the right place at the right time
Parent can help the child do things she can’t do herself
If there are 2 parents, they can help each other<br>
slide14. PARENTING OBJECTIVES – Workshop 4 Weekly Routines<br>
slide15. Health Promoting Weekly Events to Plan<br>
slide16. PARENTING OBJECTIVES – Workshop 5 IGNORING<br>
slide17. Nagging (e.g., nagging parent to have candy or treats)
Complaining (e.g., complaining that walking is too hard)
Tantruming (e.g., tantruming when the child doesn’t get his way) Behaviors which decrease when ignored<br>
slide18. PARENTING OBJECTIVES – Workshop 6 ENFORCING RULES & TIME OUTS<br>
slide19. Effective Rule Setting Warnings are an essential part of rule setting
Effective warnings are brief
If warnings are effective the command is more effective
Consequences don’t have to be given if a child complies
Three Types of Parent Errors with Warnings
Not used at all
Used without follow-up consequences
Attending to DTs (diversionary tactics) instead of giving a warning<br>
slide20. Evidence Base for Time Outs Increases compliance to commands and warnings
Better than taking things away
Ends at set time
No advantage to longer durations
Best back-up is barrier (e.g., play pen) time out
Other Advantages
Brief to administer
Portable
Easy to follow<br>
