Pathway Goal 2

PROTECTIVE FACTOR: Parental Resilience & Knowledge of Parenting and Child Development

• 1.0 Positive parenting education intervention
• 1.1 Effectively involve fathers and other relatives in parenting intervention
• 1.2 Connect to parent support groups and education intervention
• 1.3 Connect to financial supports for self-sufficiency intervention

1.0 Positive parenting education intervention

Family-strengthening services, such as home visiting and parent education, provide emotional support and promote the skills necessary to effectively nurture and manage children’s behavior. Effective services combine formal facilitation and guidance by professionals with parent peer connections and on-going support. Service providers assist families to gain the ability to cope and bounce back from all types of challenges. When parents are resilient, they are able to respond to stressful situations in productive ways; they also feel supported and are able to solve problems.

1.1 Effectively involve fathers and other relatives in parenting intervention

An involved parent feels responsible for and behaves responsibly toward his child. He/She is emotionally engaged, physically accessible and involved in childcare. He/She provides material supports to sustain the child’s needs and influence child rearing decisions.

Meet with all parents, caretakers and significant relatives responsible for childcare even if they are not living in the immediate home. Include them in the parenting plan. Even if CWS referrals are in the mother’s name, the father may become the identified client if he is the primary caretaker. Support fathers for “fathering” & “parenting” even if it presents differently from traditional “mothering.”

Through their participation families also enhance strengths and increase confidence in their own ability to achieve goals, solve problems, and meet needs.
