FamilyKind offers Individualized Parenting Education (IPE)
About this service
Parenting educators meet with individual parents, couples or co-parents whose main focus will be to identify, apply and strengthen parenting and family skills over a series of 45-minute sessions.
Parents who have completed parenting education classes either at FamilyKind or elsewhere, may work one-on-one with a parenting educator who will optimize the application of previously learned skills.
In most cases, you are required to take a parenting class before enrolling in IPE. After that, you may use IPE as a follow-up program to work with a parenting educator on a one-to-one basis to learn important distinctions about parenting strategies, skills and styles.
Children of various stages and ages pose parenting challenges, however, as parents gain insights into how to be effective in the best interest of their children, relationships and family well-being improves.
