Basic Parenting Material:

 

· Creating a Household Structure— an overview for strategic ways to create an effective parenting structure—includes info on making rules.

· Making Contracts—Contracts work for some kids quite well, but only if the parents are committed to the ideas set out in Creating a Household Structure.

· Being the authority—this handout is for parents who struggle to be authoritative with kids, and tend instead to give-in to their kids demands. 

 

Communication Tools

· I-Statements—learning how to take a position of responsibility (not blame) is described.

 

Mood Issues

· Thoughts, Decisions, and Moods—this short handout explains how thoughts and actions impact our moods and how to begin to shift into effective ways to deal with moods.

· Relapse Prevention Plan–for those who have achieved sobriety over an addiction or abstinence over a bad habit and want to keep it that way, this form can greatly help you create an effective plan.
