Course Description

Parenting Essentials is a web-based self- guided course that delivers a series of eight positive parenting and caregiving videos that provide useful tips and tools that parents/caregivers can put into practice immediately. Parenting Essentials is adapted from Parenting Fundamentals, an evidence-based parenting education program founded in 1996. Parenting Fundamentals promotes the social and emotional development of children, prevents child abuse, strengthens families and supports school readiness and achievement.


Coming in 2023! Parenting Essentials will also include a parent workbook that offers detailed explanations, additional resources, and practice exercises for each positive parenting and caregiving competency. Participants convene once a month in person or online to review the competency and share their experience putting it into practice.
