About Lawson R-XIV Parents as Teachers
The Parents as Teachers Program is a FREE program which offers parents:
research-based information on how children grow and develop;
types of activities and toys that will foster learning and nurture development;
methods of positive discipline; new techniques for problem solving; realistic expectations of child behavior; and
attitudes that will raise children's self esteem.
What is included:
Personal Visits: Certified parent educators, trained in child development and home visiting, go to each family's home on a regular basis. They share information about your child’s development, share an activity for you and your child to engage in and help with any parenting questions and concerns. Visit times are flexible so that all families can participate.
Developmental Screenings: The developmental screenings serve two purposes – to reassure parents when the child is developing on target, and to identify problems early to assist parents with appropriate interventions.
Group Connections: Group connections for parents allow parents to share ideas, express concerns and obtain additional parenting information. Group connections for children allow children to interact with other children.
Resource Network: Your parent educator will help connect you with resources and organizations that will help you meet your family’s needs and goals.
