Have you heard other parents talk about parent education programs and wondered
what they were like? Maybe you're trying to work out which course may suit your
family?
Below are a few testimonials from Parents. They are commenting on the most
commonly SFRP-funded Parent Education courses.
Course: TIPS – Tips and Ideas on parenting skills.
Description: This program was developed in New Zealand it
can be run over a 5 to 10 week period, parents meet for 2 hours at a time. There
are 10 modules of information that the group decide which ones to cover. Because
of this flexibility it can cater to parents of children aged 2 to 13 or 14.
Here's what some parents have said about the TIPS course being run at their
local Primary school, with funding supplied by SFRP:
"The course is really good. Some of the ideas are not new but it gives me confidence.
I like learning one thing at a time but together over the course this makes big
learning for me." ChiChi - two children aged 6 and 8 years
"It improves my parenting skill. Some things I already knew but it helps me
recall it. Parents should know how to handle the situations properly as they are
a good model for their kids." Samreena - three children 13yrs, 10yrs,
5yrs
"It's a good way to start the week. Hands on, practical and realistic approaches
to Parenting .I'm feeling more confident about the way I now handle situations."Anne

Course: Triple P - Positive Parenting Program.

In the group sessions parents watch videos of the strategies being talked about
as well as getting a chance to practise them.
