Parenting Support Part 2: In Practice
This session introduces the concept of a supportive relationship between healthcare professionals and parents and looks at the key elements of some of the leading parenting programmes that may be used for this purpose.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe the key elements of a supportive relationship with a parent
- List the different factors that can influence parenting style
- Explain the purpose of evidence-based parent training/education programmes
- List the criteria that should be met by an effective parenting programme
This, along with positive parental attention, is associated with the growing child's ability to make other relationships successfully, such as those with friends, and later, intimate loving relationships.
This session looks at how healthcare professionals can support parents, including the development of an appropriate parenting style. It also describes some of the leading evidence-based parent training/education programmes and the criteria that are used to assess their effectiveness.
