A curriculum based parent training program designed specifically for parents of strong-willed or out-of-control adolescent children. It teaches concrete identification, prevention, and intervention strategies for the most destructive of adolescent behaviors (e.g. poor school attendance and performance, alcohol and drug use, gangs and violence). Consisting of two parts, Parent Project is designed to \u201chelp parents effectively demonstrate their love for their children, ensure parents experience early success, encourage parents to stay with the process, teach intervention\/prevention strategies, and improve parent\/child relationships\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Parent Project is firmly grounded in the principles of behavior modification. Thus, the program places low initial emphasis on youth insight and much more emphasis on appropriate parental control to change youth behavior. It is anticipated that youth attitudinal change will follow youth behavioral change (Fry et al., 2003). Parent Project facilitators teach parents to influence their children and motivate them to change their own behavior via positive strokes, positive consequences, and negative consequences. Altogether, Parent Project\u2019s goal is to empower parents, through instruction of effective strategies that can be applied to nearly all populations and are based on behavioral concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What is it?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n strong-willed or out-of-control adolescent children.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n How does it work?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Parents attend and learn in a classroom setting, to manage teen behavior problems at home.<\/span><\/p>\n An activity based 216-page workbook, <\/span>\u201cA Parent\u2019s Guide to Changing Destructive Adolescent Behavior,\u201d <\/span><\/i>is available <\/span>only<\/span><\/i> to program participants.<\/span><\/p>\n Parents meet one time per week, two to three hours per session, for between 10 \u2013 16 weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Parent support groups are formed using the UCLA, Self-Help Support Group model.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/dev.amplitudemktg.com\/help4kids\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/female-therapist-speaking-to-group-at-therapy-section-stockpack-adobe-stock.jpg” _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” alt=”Female Therapist Speaking To Group At Therapy Section” title_text=”female-therapist-speaking-to-group-at-therapy-section-stockpack-adobe-stock.jpg” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.2″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] A curriculum based […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":54,"menu_order":170,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-60","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
