Program Overview

Positive Indian Parenting (PIP) is an 8- to 10-week curriculum that is designed to provide practical and culturally specific training for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) parents. Parents are assisted in exploring the values and attitudes expressed in traditional AI/AN child-rearing practices and applying them to modern parenting.

The curriculum is composed of eight sessions which draw on the strengths of traditional Indian parenting practices including:

  • Traditional parenting
  • Lessons of the storyteller
  • Lessons of the cradleboard
  • Harmony in child rearing
  • Traditional behavior management
  • Lessons of Mother Nature
  • Praise in traditional parenting
  • Choices in parenting

In addition, the historic impact of boarding schools, intergenerational trauma and grief, and forced assimilation of parenting are addressed. PIP aims to empower Indian families to reclaim their right to their heritage to be positive parents.
