Incredible Years Programme
Problem behaviour in children causes enormous family stress, and parents can feel alone and helpless, but a positive and well balanced family life is possible.
Parent training remains the single most effective way to help young children with challenging behaviour problems.
Incredible Years has been trialed and proven to work with most children in many different cultures and countries, including New Zealand.
The programme helps you develop strategies to build positive relationships with your children and to manage problem behaviours
The programme aims to help you:
Overcome challenging behaviour
Connect with your child
Stimulate your children’s development
Gain skills to feel more confident and positive about your parenting
Establish better relations with your child’s teachers
Grow through social and emotional coaching
Use effective praise, encouragement and limit setting
Employ positive discipline and handle misbehaviour
The way it works:
Parents work together with facilitators and each other to find solutions that suit them and their family best
Parents learn a range of new positive skills
Uses role play and real life interactions to teach skills
Homework encourages parents to practice their new skills at home
Parents in the group are encouraged to support each other outside of the course
“I’m setting my family up to be happy with behavioural strategies that really work”
