In this final session we’ll be looking at planning how to manage child behaviour using Household Rules with consequences for when children break the rules.
Remind the parents that the subject we covered last week was Clear Instructions
Ask if anyone have any interesting results after last week that they would like to share, or any questions they would like to ask. Once any sharing has finished, hold up a copy of the One to One Time Diary which you handed out last week and ask how their One to One time assignments went; ask
Did anyone have anything to share about the One to One time assignment? Any problems? Any questions?
You now give a short presentation about household rules
Ask them to turn to the Household Rules exercise in their Parenting Workbook.
Based on the “Household Rules” role-play video in the Ambassador training part of the Real Parenting Website, with each rule
1. Ask them to suggest an appropriate consequence for breaking that rule.
2. Ask them to give the rule a positive name, one that focusses on what a parent DOES want the child to do rather than on the “don’t”.
If they get stuck they can refer to the next page in the Parenting Workbook where they will find ideas for consequences and names.
You can put the rules and consequences up onto a flipchart (similar to how Parent Support Workers Sarah and Nicola do in their Household Rules Role-Play video)
Ask them to fill in the “end of course” questionnaire online which will help us to understand how much the course has helped them, and to identify if there are areas where the material can be improve. You can access the questionnaire by scanning the QR code below.
Once they have finished the questionnaire, thank them all for taking part and give them the opportunity to ask any final questions. Ask them:
· What skills do you think you have learnt from these sessions?
· If you could change one thing about the sessions, what would it be?
