Target Population:
Resentful, angry, anxious, and overwhelmed parents
Program Overview
Compassionate Parenting is an 8-session course for resentful, angry, anxious, and overwhelmed parents. It is designed to create deeper parent-child connections through increased interest and enjoyment. Parents and children are taught emotional intelligence. Empowering-discipline helps children achieve optimal growth, development, cooperation skills, and moral courage. Research shows that children learn to regulate their emotions, eliminate temper tantrums, and reduce bad behavior when they can put their feelings into words. When the brain has no way to label or otherwise discriminate among the various meanings it gives to events and behaviors, it tends to funnel all emotional response into the form of arousal that gives the most temporary power: anger. Model dialogue shows how to teach key vocabulary words to children. The Compassionate Parenting curriculum focuses on how to parent with Smart Emotions, so parents can have a positive relationship with their children. This compassionate approach to parenting helps increase cooperation, self-esteem, and self-discipline; resulting in lowering anger and resentment between parents and children.
