Parent Training for Child Behavior Modification

Welcome to Case Studies. As I work to create new Case Studies for this course, I thought for this section I would include a sample Case Study from my Schema Therapy course to show how the role of Parenting can impact the mind and later core beliefs of children as they grow and develop. Through the story of Sanaya you will learn how Parenting plays a big role in schemas (belief systems) formed in childhood.

Attachment Theory is based on the research of John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth (1970). Bowlby defined Attachment as the lasting psychological connection between people. Ainsworth built further on his work by conceptualizing three of the four styles of attachment. The theory proposes that the way the caregiver responds to the child will determine the child's attachment style, their relationship skills and how they will later interact in their adult relationships. In this lecture you will learn about the four styles of Attachment and how they effect early childhood experiences and later projected outcomes.

Understanding Attachment in Parenting is an important part of Parenting Skills. Parents can use this knowledge to provide care and tailor their responses to meet their child's needs. In this lecture you will learn the various Attachment Styles to assist you on your Parenting journey.

Parenting Styles are based on the work of Diana Baumrind, a developmental psychologist, and Stanford researchers Eleanor Maccoby and John Martin.

The four main parenting styles used in child psychology today are permissive, authoritative, neglectful and authoritarian. This course will highlight and review each of these styles as well as the projected outcomes of children and effects on their behaviors.

Welcome to this lecture involving a case study examining the development of various issues such as negative Schema's, Attachment, & negative Coping Modes based on Parenting Style.

Welcome to this lecture involving a case study examining Parenting Styles which produce the development of a Schema's, coping mode, insecure attachments and requiring the use of Schema Therapy.

This section is designed to assist Parents in being able to identify various symptoms and mental health diagnosis and will briefly cover a variety of disorders commonly diagnosed in Childhood, Adolescence and Young Adults. For further understanding of the various symptoms associated with a particular disorder see the resource section.

This lecture will cover Social Learning Theory which is based on researchers Bandura and B.F. Skinner's work in the area of Behaviorism. Social Learning Theory is an important component to Child Behavior Modification as it helps Parents understand the learning process including Modeling, Scaffolding, and the Zone of Proximal Development which this lecture will cover.

The "Mastering Whole Brain Child Parenting" lecture offers crucial insights into recognizing how to parent in the most mindful ways. This video invites viewers to honor the validity of their child's experiences and emotions. Through gentle and mindful parenting reflection and introspection, participants learn to validate their child's feelings without judgment or criticism, fostering a sense of acceptance and validation that is essential for children's healthy development to take place.

For this lecture, we will be explore the beginning phases of interventions to assist Parents with Behavior Modification. We begin the lecture discussing the Cognitive Model also known as the thought, feeling, behavior connection.

From the previous lecture's discussion about thoughts and cognitions we are prompted to look into the work of Dr. Dan Seigel and his book, "The Whole Brain Child." This highly recommended book is meant to give Parents, Caregivers and Providers the perspective of the brain's role in a child’s visible physical behaviors. Seigel puts information in terms that the average person can understand when it comes to a child’s brain development. We will cover some highlights from his book that you will be able to apply to interactions with your child. Please be sure to download The Whole Brain Child Strategies Notes/Handout in addition to other attachments in this section to follow along with the lecture.

This section will help Parents understand Behavior Modification Principles and corresponds with the handout "Behavior Modification Principles" found in the resource section. Please review it in addition to the lecture as well as other handouts in this section to get a better understanding of using and applying Behavior Modification for problem behaviors.

In Dr. Blake Lancaster's Article, Before Saying "Time Out" Praise Good Behavior, he lays out the purpose of "Time Out's" while introducing and balancing the concept of "Time In's." While Time Out's may have an age limit as it becomes more and more awkward to place an older child in "Time Out," "Time In's" don't have an expiration date and can always be used even unto and through adolescence, preteen and teenage years. For this section please take the time to read Dr. Lancaster's extremely short article on this subject and then take a short quiz on what you read.

This section provides a link that will take you to a highly recommended playlist of Parent Training videos on YouTube.. It is recommended that you watch at least one video per week and journal about the lessons you take away from each video. This last assignment is designed to assist you to continue on your Parent Training journey even beyond the course.
