ABC Parent Power
The ABC Parent Power sessions guide parents in understanding their children’s Attitude toward school and how children are impacted by their Behavior and helps them to examine Conditions in the home. Parents actively engage in activities that will lead them to identify behaviors, attitudes, and conditions that would foster student academic and personal success. Parents will ultimately develop a plan of action to help students set and reach goals.
ABC Parent Power Program is designed to help parents assist their children in achieving success socially, emotionally, and academically. This parent university provides an opportunity for parents to engage in self–reflection, collaborate with each other, and decide on the next step.
Parents meet for six two-hour sessions. They discuss and engage in activities and a book study, which will help them enhance conditions in the home; improve attitudes of their children toward adults and school; and understand how their behavior influences the behavior of their children.
Parents will cover materials in each session that relate to Attitude, Behavior, and Conditions and ultimately develop a plan of action to help students achieve success.
