Parent education should be provided as early in the child's life as possible. Family Leadership Parent Education teaches parents the skills necessary to build high self-esteem. Empowered parents focus on what they can do rather than who is to blame or why by viewing family problems as learning opportunities rather than as individuals being problems. Families learn a parenting system that develops the child's ability to initiate and maintain positive behavior rather than depending on the external motivation of rewards and punishment. Parents are regarded as the primary teacher.
Parents gain tools that prevent and address the cause of problems instead of the symptoms.
Participants gain principles and concepts that can be applied to a variety of situations rather than a set of rules or prescriptions.
