StandUp Parenting support groups are not "anonymous" meetings,
however we request attendees to adhere to confidentiality -- "What
you hear here, stays here."

StandUp Parenting begins with an assessment of the behaviors in
our children that need confronting, followed by an inventory of the
strengths we see in our children as well as an evaluation of our
current parenting practices. Then, each parent looks at the individual
weaknesses––the unwanted behaviors and attitudes––noted in their own
child, and sets about to find an incentive or deterrent that will help
the child move toward a specific desired change. Next, we consider the
strengths our children are displaying and make a decision to give
positive feedback when we see them.
During this process, as we consider the strengths in our children as
well as their unwanted behaviors and attitudes, we realize that to
effect changes in our children we, the parents, must make changes in
our own behaviors.
With input from parents in the group, we devise a plan based on both
strengths and weaknesses and resolve to follow through with the
support of a fellow member.
We report our progress toward desired changes each week and make new
plans as current problems are resolved and new situations arise.
An educational component is included in each meeting, as well. |
