Overview of "Positive Solutions for Families" sessions
The Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning (CSEFEL) has developed an evidence-based, user-friendly parent training series of six sessions to help professionals working with parents to promote positive and effective parenting behaviors in order to promote children’s social and emotional development and address the challenging behavior and mental health needs of children in child care and Head Start programs.
About the Content
The training materials provide information for families on how to promote children’s social and emotional skills, understand their problem behavior, and use positive approaches to help children learn appropriate behavior. The trainings are designed to give parents general information on key strategies that may be used with all children. Sessions are not designed to offer parents specific advice for their child’s individual issues. Facilitators of the training session should be knowledgeable about local agencies and service providers that may be able to assist families who have complex support needs or children with problem behavior that requires the guidance of a professional. In the last session, parents will be offered a routine guide that offers parents advice for supporting their children across common family routines.
