Parental Training Program
 Want To Be Like Super Nanny? Do you feel like your home-life mimics that of the hit TV show “Super Nanny”? Have you had the experience of relatives, friends, even strangers criticizing your parenting?Do your child’s ADHD, ODD, or other behavior issues often stress you out? Family psychologists believe families are the happiest when parents and children have skills for relating to each other in a warm, positive way; skills for communicating effectively with each other; and when parents are able to guide their children to learn the positive behaviors that all children need in order to get along in the world. When parents feel competent, and children can regulate their behavior with the parents’ help, then the family life becomes a more pleasant experience. Knowing what to do when you are in a stressful situation with your child is critical to effective child management. Confusion on your part about how to manage your child can escalate his or her misbehavior and produce anger and resentment in both of you. Inappropriate punishment may be used, or ineffective parental behavior may occur, simply because you are not sure what you can do to be an effective parent. On the other hand, if you have some definite parenting skills to use in teaching your child how to behave and in using effective discipline with him or her, you will be able to deal with inappropriate behavior calmly and effectively, even in potentially stressful situations.
Change is Possible Counseling Services, LLC is offering a parent training program that can give you the confidence to use rewards and discipline in an effective way. In this 12-session program, social learning methods will be reviewed to help you learn to manage your child’s behavior. Social learning theory says that an important component of what controls our behavior is the events that occur just before and just after our behavior. This is especially true for children who pay very close attention to how their parents react when the child does something. Your reaction has a lot to do with whether your child will do the behavior again in the future.
