Being a "successful
parent" means more than providing food, clothing and shelter…True
success as a parent comes in helping children develop high self-esteem,
strong communication skills and the courage to think through
and make good decisions at home, school and in social situations.
The Successful Parenting
Video Library, developed by educator and counselor Barbara-Lynn
Taylor, M.Ed., helps parents improve their parenting skills.
The short videos/DVDs and facilitator's guides focus on parenting
issues such as communication, discipline, and school success.
Several videos are available with open captions or in
Spanish.
Successful
Parenting videos are perfect for your school, workshops, library,
and one-on-one meetings:
- show real, culturally diverse
families
- use lots of role play and are
easy to understand
- include Facilitator's Guides
for leading dynamic workshops
- feature child development experts
- are easy to place in resource
libraries for individual check-out by parents
- are available with captions
for the hearing impaired
|
Parent Take-Home Booklets are available for each of
the Successful Parenting videos. The easy-to-read booklets help
parents remember key points long after viewing and discussing
the video.
“I
have been using your Successful Parenting tapes on self esteem,
communication, and discipline for six years in my Parenting and
Child Development classrooms for 10th-12th grade students. My
students continue to benefit from these concise and informative
videos. Thanks so much for putting them together for our ‘future
parents’.”
