How does Skillful Parenting Work with parents and caregiver?
SKILLFUL PARENTING provides a holistic approach that reinforces positive parenting practices and empowering parents/caregivers to:
- Increase positive solutions in bringing up children
- Promote and facilitate child’s health, development, achievement and protection
- Reduce stress, fewer problems, more satisfy with parenting and family life, and to preserve the couple relationship and, in general, improve family well-being. Under guidance of a professional facilitator, parents/caregivers are provided with a safe platform for discussion and sharing on different topics. The work with parent peer groups ensures social comparison, joint reflection and ongoing support.
The components of the behavior change model for Skillful Parenting are addressed in the different modules below: providing knowledge, addressing the risks of not providing adequate care and protection to children, and strengthening parents’ belief that they can take action to change (self-efficacy).
Parenting is strongly influenced by culture, history and other contextual factors. This program does not aim to tell parents “this is how you have to do it” but rather wants to help parents in their task of raising children by choosing what works best for them and their family.
Family Budgeting
Money management is critical to the success and happiness of any family and therefore a key aspect for parenting. Arguments over money are a common problem in families, regardless of income, age and education, sometimes caused by a lack of income, but also by a lack of understanding about their financial situation, debts, ineffective communication or unequal decision-making within families. The module is therefore a bit different than other modules and structured as follows:
- Financial first aid kit
- Reducing Debt Burden
- From Emergencies to long term savings
- Money: Family communication & responsibility
Family Budgeting model focuses on the main challenge to manage money: behavior changes, self- motivation and community/family impact, and uses highly participatory methods in order to increase what participants implement.
