Description
Many parenting interventions include a construct called “positive parenting.” What is positive parenting and why is this construct central to family and parenting skill interventions? This will be a discussion-oriented presentation that will focus on the core components of positive parenting, interventions that have demonstrated effects on positive parenting, and implications for large-scale community dissemination across different cultures and contexts. This lecture is part of the Penn State Child Study Center lecture series.
