Parent Training Programmes

There are two versions of the BASIC Parent Training Programme - an Early Childhood version (Ages 3-6) and a School Age version (Ages 6-12).  The aim of both programmes is to improve parenting skills and both programmes have similar content.  However, there are differences in emphasis between the two.

While the Early Childhood version focuses on:

• Play.
• Praise and Rewards.
• Effective Limit Setting and dealing with Non-compliance.
• Handling Misbehaviour.
• Time Out and
• Preventive Approaches.

The School Age version gives greater emphasis to strategies for older children:

• Promoting Positive Behaviours & Reducing Inappropriate Behaviours.

The Preschool BASIC Parent training curriculum is delivered over 14-20 weeks with one 2 hour session per week, while the School Age BASIC Parent training curriculum is delivered over 10-14 weeks with one 2 hour session per week
