You-Turn Project’s (YTP) parenting education program enable parents to establish a strong and positive bond with their children, creating in the child a strong sense of security important for their successful development at every stage of life. Parents need to know what to expect at each developmental stage and how children grow and behave at each one of these stages. Setting boundaries and discipline enable parent to run a stable, nurturing environment in the home. Employers do not want work interrupted because of a parent's poor child rearing skills. Giving children responsibility for being part of the family, and understanding that families must be a cohesive unit enable parents to focus on their job without apprehension about home. Finally, knowing good health habits for the entire family will increase your enjoyment of being together. The added bonus is less time off from work and school with an ill child or other family member. YTP offers a custom parent education workshop series that includes over 15 core topics administered in 5 classes. Each class focuses on a range of life skills areas and collectively form the module. Sample topics include: Bonding with Your Child; Child Development; Appropriate Discipline; Conflict Resolution; Setting Boundaries and Effective Scheduling; Kids and Cash; and Nutrition and First Aid.
The Program Includes: vocabulary, lecture time, homework, group discussions, hands-on activities, and parenting kit. Topics are subject to change based on the age of the participant’s children. We do not provide individual or group therapy services to the students in our program. Students in need of therapy are referred to outside agencies. This is an educational module.
