Incredible Years - Parent Programme

The Incredible Years Programme is a 14-session program for whaanau and taamariki. The core focus is to reduce challenging behaviours in children aged three to nine. It is designed to increase social and self-control skills while also providing behaviour management support to maatua (parents) and kaaitiaki (caregivers) . Incredible Years Parenting Programme is a 14 session programme for parents of children aged 3-8 years. This programme provides parents with skills to better manage children with behavioural problems, creating a home environment that is conducive to positive, social and educational outcomes. How it works: * Making time to play and spend quality time with children and letting children lead the play. * Encouraging the behaviours parents would like to see, through setting clear rules and boundaries and using praise and encouragement. * Selectively using consequences, such as ignoring, loss of privileges, and time out.
