Parent Stress

Parent Stress

The Long Haul You’ve made it through the joys, challenges, and adjustments of having a new baby – the first smile and sleepless nights, the first time they say “mama” and the pain of teething. Now that your child is a pre-schooler or a kindergartener, you can let go of the stress of being a […]

Two-Generation Parenting Programs

November 17, 2014 By Eric Pakulak, Ph.D., Theodore Bell, Courtney Stevens and Helen Neville, Ph.D.

Two-Generation Parenting Programs

Parent-Child Programs Holds Promise Parenting is one of the most rewarding activities one can do, but it is also one of the most challenging. As the saying goes, children don’t come with instruction manuals. Therefore, many parents welcome additional tools that can support their children’s healthy development. Increasingly, scientific evidence on child development is revealing […]

Children and Social Media

Children and Social Media

My children love hearing the stories of my childhood, including tales about answering machines and chatting with friends on a phone connected to a wall. Gasp! Today, we live in a different world; social media means people, places and things are available at a swipe of a finger. For parents, it can feel overwhelming – […]

Resources for Parenting

April 14, 2014 By Lynne Swartz, MPH

Resources for Parenting

Parenting is a learned skill. No one is born knowing how to be a good parent. Many parents may not want to use their own childhoods as the basis for their own parenting. Other parents may just be looking for new strategies for parenting their children. The good news is that our community and the internet have many resources for parents to expand their skills and become better at nurturing and caring for their children.

Positive Discipline Possible

February 1, 2014 By Parenting Now!

Positive Discipline Possible

Parent educators at Parenting Now! are often asked, “What can I do about my child’s behavior?” Our philosophy is that there are many approaches to discipline, but every approach should be a thoughtful way to pass on parental values and rules.

Discipline is an opportunity for the child to learn. Sometimes, parents believe discipline is the same as punishment; in fact, the root of the word is disciple, or “to learn.” Children have much to learn, and it is a parent’s job to be their loving teacher.

Child Abuse Issues Being Addressed by 90×30

November 1, 2013 By Phyllis D. Barkhurst

Child Abuse Issues Being Addressed by 90×30

The findings from a recent 90by30 pilot survey suggested that 75 percent of Lane County residents are willing to be active in reducing child abuse and neglect, and yet less than half reported knowing what to do or how to go about helping. 90by30 is in the process of creating the structure to implement the plan that will make it possible for each of us to play our part.

The Value of Parenting Education

May 1, 2013 By Minalee Saks

The Value of Parenting Education

Much data shows that parenting education works:

Readiness for kindergarten is enhanced when parents learn how they can support their child’s healthy development.
Parenting education helps prevent child abuse and neglect, and associated concerns like teen pregnancy, delinquency and substance abuse.

Role of Parenting in Child Development

November 1, 2012 By Eowyn Orleck

Role of Parenting in Child Development

The research can help us understand how a baby’s mind is formed and what we can do as parents to help our children be their best. Much of this research supports what many parents already do: read to their children, talk with them, interact with them. Some of the research tells us how to do these things better; how to ask questions and engage our children with the written words in ways that increase their understanding and brain development.
