5 Itroductio The Parters i Paretig module was desiged to address the eeds ad cocers of parets i substace abuse treatmet programs. The maual provides materials ad istructios for leadig a workshop that focuses o cocepts importat for paretig effectiveess such as commuicatio skills, guidace techiques, ad positive disciplie strategies. The emphasis is o buildig skills, providig support, ad helpig parets uderstad the eeds ad abilities of childre durig differet stages of developmet. The maual cotais materials for eight structured workshop sessios that ca be implemeted accordig to program ad participat eeds. Each sessio icludes istructios for leadig the sessio, alog with hadouts, discussio questios, ad ideas for presetig iformatio o the topics covered. Homework assigmets are icluded to ecourage practice of paretig skills betwee sessios. Articles of iterest, resources for obtaiig teachig materials, ad a bibliography of additioal readig also are icluded i this maual. The structured workshop sessios are desiged for eight weekly meetigs of about two hours each. However, some flexibility is recommeded. I practice, discussios of paretig issues have bee kow to become lively ad idividual participats have bee foud to eed extra support ad processig time whe paiful memories are triggered. Therefore, loger sessios or extra sessios may be warrated. (See discussio of Extra Meetigs i the Ideas for Usig This Maual sectio.) The followig topics are covered i the workshop: Sessio Oe: Buildig a Partership The first meetig ceters o group buildig ad itroducig the philosophy ad toe of the workshop. Participats are ecouraged to thik about curret paretig cocers ad challeges, their goals ad expectatios for the workshop, ad the stregths ad skills they cotribute to the group. Sessio Two: Child Developmet Effective paretig requires a clear uderstadig of the developmetal limitatios ad abilities of childre at differet ages. This sessio focuses o child developmet, commo paretig issues at differet developmetal stages, ad paretal expectatios. Guidace strategies for childre of differet ages are itroduced ad discussed. iv A TCU /DATAR Maual

6 Sessio Three: Family Commuicatio: Active Listeig This sessio itroduces participats to the skill of listeig as a foudatio for effective family commuicatio. Techiques for coveyig acceptace ad emotioal support through active listeig skills are highlighted ad participats are ivited to explore their curret listeig style. How effective listeig ca be used i various paretig situatios is discussed. Sessio Four: Family Commuicatio: Buildig Uderstadig Cotiuig with the theme of family commuicatio, this sessio itroduces participats to speakig skills that help icrease uderstadig ad cooperatio. The impact of overbal commuicatio is emphasized, ad parets are itroduced to I-Messages as a strategy for commuicatig clearly about feeligs ad for settig limits ad makig requests. Sessio Five: Helpig Childre Behave This sessio is desiged to help participats master strategies for icreasig desired behaviors i their childre through the use of praise, reiforcemet, settig limits, redirectio, ad modelig. Ieffective methods of hadlig childre s misbehavior are discussed ad commuicatio skills that work well for providig child guidace are reiforced. Sessio Six: Sesible Disciplie Disciplie strategies are aimed at decreasig uwated behaviors i childre. This sessio focuses o techiques for effective ad fair disciplie, icludig igorig, time out, ad atural ad logical cosequeces. The reasos for childre s misbehavior are explored, alog with commo disciplie problems ad recommeded solutios. Sessio Seve: Self-Care for Parets This sessio ackowledges the stress, isecurity, ad low sese of self-esteem experieced by may parets who feel overwhelmed by paretig resposibilities. Participats are ecouraged to focus o self-care ad to pay attetio to the potetial egative impacts of ot carig for themselves. Assertiveess, affirmatios, time maagemet, ad strategies for dealig with the stress that results from egative self-talk are addressed. Sessio Eight: Tomorrow ad Beyod The fial structured sessio emphasizes problem-solvig, plaig, ad ecouragig resiliece i childre. Parets are itroduced to a problem-solvig model Parters i Paretig v

7 for workig through future paretig challeges. The sessio also provides closure for the workshop by askig participats to review their paretig goals from the first sessio, to assess progress, ad to set goals for the future. Time is allowed for a recogitio activity (e. g., distributig completio certificates or awards). I coclusio, the Parters i Paretig workshop has bee desiged to guide ad support parets as they improve their commuicatio, problem solvig, ad guidace skills with their childre. It is hoped that by offerig a forum where recoverig parets with similar cocers ca discuss optios ad solutios for better paretig, the result will be stroger, happier, ad more supportive families. vi A TCU /DATAR Maual

8 Ideas for Usig This Maual The Par arters i Par aretig maual cotais materials for eight structured workshop sessios. This sectio has bee icluded to help couselors prepare for leadig workshop sessios. It icludes tips, techiques, ad ideas to refresh ad stregthe group leadership skills. Prepar eparatio atio Workshop leaders will beefit from allowig adequate preparatio time for review ad self-study. The Resources ad Refereces sectios of this maual cotai listigs for books, articles, web sites, ad videos that may be helpful.

9 Logistics Each structured sessio of Par arters i Par aretig covers about two hours of material. Cosider the followig logistics issues i your plaig ad preparatio: Group selectio The groups are desiged for wome ad me who are actively ivolved i paretig childre. Potetial members should be emotioally stable, possess adequate social skills for group iteractio, ad ot be i serious crisis. I additio, exercises, activities, ad hadouts used i the workshop require basic literacy i Eglish. Group size The ideal group size is likely to vary by treatmet settig. I residetial programs where cliets live i close quarters ad daily issues fid their way ito group discussios, smaller groups may work better. We foud that a core group of 6 8 participats worked well i a small, residetial wome s program, whereas groups with participats were suitable for outpatiet programs. A active, highly participatory group may beefit from havig the sessio material split ad preseted over two meetigs (see sectio o Extra Meetigs). Meetig room Tables or desks should be part of the seatig arragemets, sice may of the workshop exercises ad activities iclude writig o worksheets. Other activities call for participats to move aroud the room or to work i pairs/small groups, so the meetig area should be large eough to hold everyoe comfortably. I additio, the room should offer participats a sese of privacy. Equipmet Group leaders will eed a flip chart or a eraser board for writig dow key poits durig discussios ad braistormig activities. Breaks/r eaks/refr efreshmets eshmets Offer participats a short break (10 miutes) at a logical stoppig place mid- sessio. Coffee ad other refreshmets ca add a ice touch ad are geerally appreciated by group members. Child care Make child care available for participats durig the meetigs if at all possible. I this way, parets ca atted without viii A TCU /DATAR Maual

10 Extra Meetigs the stress of arragig for a sitter ad will be better able to cocetrate o the workshop material. The child care room should be separate from the workshop room to help avoid distractios. I additio to the eight structured sessios cotaied i the maual, extra sessios may be added to exted discussio ad processig or to practice specific paretig skills. For example, we have foud that cliets ofte desire to discuss ad process family-of-origi issues that arise quite spotaeously as a result of the topics addressed i the workshop. I the wome s residetial program where this workshop was piloted, couselors foud it productive to help participats process these issues whe they arose. I order to allow the time eeded, the structured workshop material i each sessio was divided ad preseted over two meetigs. I this program, the Par arters i Par aretig materials were spread out over 15 meetigs. Ideally, extra meetigs should cotiue or expad the topics covered i the structured sessios. Beyod allowig time for processig issues ad persoal experieces, some other ideas for extra meetigs might iclude: Use the meetig to show trigger films (short vigettes about paretig situatios ad resposes) ad discuss them vis-à-vis paretig skills ad issues raised i the workshop material. Popular TV programs or sit-coms ca provide excellet sprigboards for such discussios. I additio, paretig or metal health agecies i your area may have educatioal videos for loa or ret. To purchase paretig videos, check the Resources sectio of this maual for available catalogs. Extra meetigs ca be used to provide hads-o directios for specific paretig tips ad techiques. This may iclude usig the meetig to give parets time to actually costruct icetive charts or other homemade games for ecouragig childre s positive behaviors. For example, leaders ca provide poster board, paits, ad other materials ad show parets how to make a Parters i Paretig ix

11 icetive chart, a grid with behaviors like brushig teeth or takig out the trash listed i a colum, with spaces ext to each behavior where stars or checks ca be placed each time the behavior is doe. Parets ca braistorm how may stars are eeded for a small reward, as well as what types of persoal, iexpesive rewards might be appropriate for their child. For example, a week s worth of brushig teeth equals stayig up a extra hour o Friday ight. Likewise, group leaders ca teach parets how to use these types of games ad activities to ecourage ad reiforce childre s cooperatio. Use extra meetigs to teach parets how to orgaize ad hold family meetigs. Oce family meetigs have bee iitiated i their families, parets ca use the time to discuss progress ad get poiters from other parets. Role play ca be used to help parets practice problem solvig ad commuicatio skills. Dedicate the extra meetigs to allowig parets to discuss their experieces i actually usig the paretig skills ad techiques suggested i the structured sessios. Group leaders ca provide further guidace i choosig ad usig appropriate reward ad disciplie strategies ad participats ca offer each other support ad ecouragemet. Modelig ad Role Play The Par arters i Par aretig material ecourages group leaders to model (demostrate) appropriate commuicatio skills (listeig, I-Messages, overbal cogruece) ad guidace techiques (time out, settig limits, redirectio, eforcig cosequeces). As part of the preparatio process, leaders may fid it helpful to practice with peers ad get feedback o the most useful ways of modelig the recommeded strategies. Role play is used extesively i the structured sessios to help participats practice ew skills ad become comfortable usig them. Here are some thigs to keep i mid whe leadig role plays. You may fid it helpful to use some of this iformatio to prepare your opeig discussio of role play with group members: x A TCU /DATAR Maual

12 Role play is ot drama. Ecourage participats to be atural ad focus o helpig each other create realistic situatios for practicig paretig ad commuicatio skills. Stop ad start the role play, as eeded. It is sometimes helpful to role play just a few lies ad resposes, stop ad process the iteractio, the allow role players to repeat the sceario icorporatig the feedback geerated durig the processig discussio. Whe processig a role play, ecourage participats to talk about their feeligs as well as the skills beig practiced. Teach participats how to give each other helpful ad costructive feedback. For example, I thik your child might liste better if you lowered your voice a little, is more costructive feedback tha You re yellig! No woder your child igores you! Do t force ayoe to participate i role playig. Some people may be too ucomfortable. Remember that some people lear more from observig tha from participatig. Stop the role play if you sese that a participat is becomig distressed or ucomfortable. Let participats kow they ca stop or bow out of a role play at ay time. Whe appropriate, you may wat to take part i a role play activity, either by modelig effective commuicatio or paretig techiques or by modelig a difficult child so that a member ca practice. Ecourage the group to discuss both verbal ad overbal commuicatio i the role play sceario. Help stress the importace appropriate overbal commuicatio for effective paretig. If the paretig or commuicatio techiques used by a member durig role play are ieffective or iappropriate, ask the participat or other group members for alteratives. For example, Based o what we discussed today i the group, ca you thik of aother way to disciplie the child that might work better? Oce a effective suggestio is geerated, use role play to rehearse how it would look ad soud. Parters i Paretig xi

13 Evaluatio Thak members for participatig i the role plays. Fid opportuities to offer praise ad complimet their willigess to try. There is a idividual evaluatio form for each sessio of Parters i Paretig (located at the ed of the sessio). This simple evaluatio is desiged to give group leaders some geeral feedback about the cliets reactios to the material, what they foud most useful, ad a global ratig of the sessio. Programs iterested i a more formal evaluatio of the material ca use the Parters i Paretig Pre & Post Questioaire (pp ). I additio to measurig icreases i kowledge based o the workshop cotet, the istrumet is desiged to capture chages i attitudes about paretig strategies, as well as chages i parets sese of self-efficacy. To admiister the pretest ad posttest questioaires, time should be allowed before the first sessio ad followig the last sessio. I some cases, group leaders may wat to schedule a special meetig before the workshop starts (ad agai after the workshop is over) to admiister the questioaires. The same questioaire is used for both pre ad post admiistratio. I the gray box area of the form, the perso who admiisters it ca circle whether it s beig give as Pre or Post. The gray box also features a area for collectig cliet idetificatio, dates, ad other iformatio to help match pretests with posttests. xii A TCU /DATAR Maual

21 Buildig a Partership 11 Ask group members to sig their copy to show that they agree with priciples suggested for the group ad that they ited to remai a member of the group. Collect the siged copies. 40 Miutes PARENTING CONCERNS AND GOALS 12 Set the toe for participats to discuss curret cocers ad challeges about paretig: Parets who are i recovery have a lot i commo. Paretig, eve i the best of circumstaces, is a challege. Paretig i the midst of a ogoig substace abuse problem probably felt like a impossibility to may of you. The most importat thig to remember at this poit is that you survived those days, ad your childre survived. Now is the time for healig ad rebuildig relatioships. Both are slow processes. Noe of us has the ability to fix uhappy thigs that happeed i the past. This reality leaves most of us with feeligs of remorse ad regret. We ca get hope from realizig that it is possible to make positive chages ow, today ad ito the future. The purpose of this group is to help i that process. Before we move o to establishig our group goals, let s discuss some of the paretig cocers ad challeges that helped motivate you to joi this group. 13 Ecourage a discussio of paretig cocers usig some of the followig questios. Keep discussio focused o cocers about the paret-child relatioship (e.g., move participats away from usig time to vetilate about fiacial problems, child custody issues, ex-spouses, etc.). Use a flip chart or erasable board to list participats ideas. Model supportive listeig ad validatio of feeligs ad cocers.? What cocers you most about your relatioship with your child right ow?? Is there aythig you are particularly worried about? 8 A TCU/DATAR Maual

22 ? Are there ay feeligs you have, or feeligs you sese your child may have, that cocer you?? Are there ay recurrig problems you d like to see resolved?? I spite of all the cocers ad challeges we ve bee talkig about, what is oe thig you would ot wat to chage about your relatioship with your child.? 14 Summarize the cocers raised by the group. Highlight the positive aspects of their paret-child relatioships as voluteered i the last questio. Briefly uderscore how the topics that will be addressed i group ad the group iteractio itself will help members further address their cocers. Hadout, p Lead participats i establishig group goals. Distribute Goal Talk hadout ad help create a workig defiitio of goals before proceedig. As metioed earlier, takig a few miutes to thik seriously about goals ad to establish group goals will help keep us o track. Goals ca be thought of as actio plas for creatig solutios to curret paretig cocers ad problems. Your hadout highlights the differeces betwee log rage plas ad goals. Let s examie some of those. 16 Read hadout poits aloud ad discuss the followig poits: Both log-rage plas ad goals are importat. Goals are the workhorse, while the log-rage pla is the visio. Goals are accomplished ad reached oe day at a time. Worksheet, p Distribute My Goals for Better Paretig worksheet ad ask participats to write dow a few goals they are iterested i workig toward as part of the workshop. Parters i Paretig 9

23 Buildig a Partership 18 Prompt with some of the followig questios:? What do you most wat to get out of this workshop?? What do you wat to lear about most?? What issues or cocers do you wat help with?? What might this workshop provide that will help you most i your job as a paret?? What do you hope to gai from other members? 19 Ask participats to cotribute oe of their goals to a list of group goals. Use flip chart paper or a piece of poster board to record group goals as members offer them. With participats help, frame goals i laguage that is specific, yet geeral eough to apply to most families (e.g., lear better ways to cotrol my child s tatrums, lear to cotrol my ow temper whe child misbehaves).
