The program is directed to the parents of adolescents, as it is the parents who are children most influential teachers. The program is only 6 months old in the Thousand Oaks community. However, we have taught parents of notorious gang members and parents with children who are extremely out of control. Most parents report significant positive changes in their child s behavior by the end of the ten week course. Currently, the Parent Project is funded by the City of Thousand Oaks.
Parents are childrens most influential teacher.
Once parents have the information and get the needed support to help them bring discipline into their home, parents can change their children s behavior. We feel that the parents are the key component in influencing proper adolescent behavior. Return to Previous Page .
