Partners in Parenting
Authors: N. G. Bartholomew, D. K. Knight, L. R. Chatham, & D. D. Simpson
The Partners in Parenting manual provides a step-by-step curriculum for leading workshops with substance abuse treatment clients who are raising children. This approach focuses on the identified concerns of recovering parents and encourages skill-building and problem-solving around issues such as parent-child communication, developmental expectancies, guidance and discipline, and managing stress.
The materials for this structured, 8-session workshop encourage participants to practice parenting strategies and discuss their experiences with others. The manual features comprehensive outlines for each session with lecture notes, discussion questions, exercises and activities, and handouts. The reference section contains useful reprints of parenting articles and child development information, plus a list of Web sites of interest to parents and counselors.
Topics covered include:
- The Parenting Partnership
- Child Development
- Family Communication
- Guidance and Coaching
- Helping Children Behave
