A Parenting Skills Program is a key component in CSC's strategy to support FSW in their parenting efforts.

In this regard (as in many others) FSW are no different from many other mothers who want to become more effective parents.

The overriding goal of any parenting skills program delivered in the new FSW facilities should be: to strengthen the capacity of FSW to provide for and nurture their children.

Above all, program designers and deliverers must respect and support women's choices to work through their maternal responsibilities, whether they be exercised via an on-site residency arrangement, enhanced visits, or parenting from afar.

We all want our children to behave well at home, as well as at school, and make a positive contribution to family life.

If you are having problems with the way a child is behaving, you may decide to start a new regime where rules are set and you monitor their - and your - progress.

It's a good idea to keep your partner, grandparents or close friends in on your plans, and get their perspective and help on things, and on your progress.

Praise should be sincere, specific and immediate, and make the child feel valued by you.

Most parents worry about their child when he or she reaches adolescence.

Leaving home is scary for most adolescents, but because adoptees have already suffered the loss of one set of parents, it is even more frightening.

Research indicates that some adoptees simply have a strong need to know about their biological roots.

It is more likely that a teen will have problems in families "where the parents insist that adoption is no different from the biological parent--child relationship," says Kenneth Kirby, Ph.D., from the Department of Clinical Psychiatry at Northwestern University School of Medicine in Chicago.

There is a big difference between cooperation and obedience.

To increase children's cooperation, parents have to change the attitudes that start power struggles.

Most of us are willing to do whatever is asked of us if asked in a respectful manner.

When you offer your children choices with limits you shift from giving commands and ordering to options within your limits and rules.

This sounds like your child has a choice of whether or not to go to school.

A bottom line is the minimum behavior allowed and is non-negotiable.

A more respectful choice would be "You can play with your doll or put it away.
