Z H i n ..r I • NON-TRADITIONAL PARENTING CLASS A Systematic Approach to Preventing Child Abuse Child Abuse Resource and Education, Inc . Greeley, Colorado NOT FOR DUPLICATION WITHOUT PERMISSION OF CHILD ABUSE RESOURCE AND EDUCATION NON-TRADITIONAL PARENTING EDUCATION Non-traditional Parenting Education seeks to provide preventive parenting services to men and women of child bearing age. In this group primary prevention of child abuse takes the form of educating first time expectant inexperienced high-risk parents of the demands, responsibilities, skills and levels of stress associated with child- rearing; these concepts are learned via teaching by the group leader and by association with group members as they relate their own indiv- idual experiences. Additionally, this opportunity paves the way for the inexperienced parent to form a developmental framework for know- ledge and expectations of his/her child (ren) . Learning through others who share similar stressors and experience is a powerful method of skill acquisition and a significant dynamic operating within the group. Secondary prevention of child abuse and neglect takes the form of re-educating highly stressed and/or inexperienced parents, once it has been established that bona fida difficulties or risks are present within the parent-child relationship. Role playing newly-learned parenting skills adjusting expectations and developing a stronger social support network for the parent are included on this level . In Non-traditional Parenting Education a main goal is to regulate the amount and impact of stress on the individual parent , optimally creating a marriage of newly-acquired child rearing skills and effective coping strategies for the stress commonly associated with this task. Community agencies frequently have limited time available for providing adjustment counseling to the expectant parent. This group provides a main focus on the normal and unique life-style changes in role , skills , marital partners and social activity. These arc only a few of the adjustment problems we identify and address . Page 2 . At Another powerful factor evidenced by the group concerns the immature/age-inappropriate parent. Peer pressure is a strong dynamic and is often utilized by members when one of the group clings to a clearly unrealistic/inappropriate parenting notion not serving to promote healthy child development or positive parent- child interaction . Several of the group members have been pregnant during their attendance; oftentimes educational process has shifted to the sub- jects of optimal pre-natal care and medical difficulties as shared by other group members in the past or present. The issue of abor- tion surfaces periodically; even more frequent is the group con- sensus for motivation and effective methods of birth control . There exists strong support here for containing the family size within reasonable and manageable limits via forethought and planning. Group members are relatively vocal and very understanding of these issues as many of them now live daily with the reality of too little planning too late in their development as a parent . The educational and supporting services provided to group members are unlike any currently existing throughout the greater Greeley area . Given this unique parent population , no other agency provides equivalent help to persons in such obvious need; therefore , no duplication of services exists . 1t to1.
