The Parent Program for School Districts

 "Involved parents raise happier and
more successful children, academically and in their career"



The Parent Program. 
We teach your parents the skill of happiness.
In 15 minutes a day. 
So they can teach their children and
 you can focus on teaching success.

A research based approach to teaching topics and tools parents 
normally don't have access to.
From open communication to conflict resolution.
Creating a structure at home set in value based parenting.
Being positive, supportive, a team and finding balance in life.
Focusing on what they like in their children and building from 
strength and from acting towards what you want.
In the comfort of their home, at their own time and pace!
And involving the whole family.

So parents can teach their children the social skills they need,
and be involved in a constructive way in their school life.
And you can teach their children the foundation to success.

Do you want your students to come to school happy and ready to learn?
Do you wish they would have parents who are happily involved 
in their lives and academic development?

 With The Parent Program you can own district wide access 
for ALL your parents (and teachers) for TEN years
to the Communication, Conflict Resolution and Team Building tools 
that corporations pay thousands of dollars per person for.
Made easily accessible for parents. 

What is it?
The Parent Program is a low investment, convenient, 
easily accessible and innovative 
15 minute a day email/web based parenting program.

Testimonial

Dawn Benson (former) Director of Instruction of SD83 Okanagan Shuswap  describes the benefits to her district:

"You are teaching key skills and giving tools to improve communication,   collaboration, which families need as much as schools.
You are teaching skills and structures that schools are supposed to be putting into place these days as we become much more of a participative model.
If parents learn these skills too, I am sure it would reduce the lack of understanding of what is needed to work ”together” more peacefully.
I think the fact that a lot of our teachers will take the course “as parents” will improve their skills in the schools too."

And as she commented 8 months into the 1st year of the program on my blog:
"The many resources on your website are wonderful Wouter. The parents in our school district (S.D. # 83 in British Columbia) are very happy to be using your parenting course and being able to access your ideas and wisdom.
All the best as you spread the “positive parenting” word to more and more school districts!"
Dawn Benson
