Guiding Good Choices

Guiding Good Choices is a five session program that teaches parents of children ages 9-14 how to reduce the risk that their children will develop drug problems. There is clear evidence that the child-rearing practices, attitudes, values, and behaviors of parents influence whether their children will use drugs.

Incredible Years

Research has consistently shown that young aggressive or conduct-problem children are at high risk for mental illness, delinquency, depression, spouse and child abuse, adjustment problems and drug and alcohol abuse as adolescents and adults. In addition, their parents are at high risk for abusing these difficult children.

The Incredible Years program has been designed on the principle that people change as a result of the interactions that they have on a daily basis with one another. One of the implications of this focus on interpersonal interactions is that when children misbehave and families become disrupted, it is necessary to change the parentsʼ behavior as well as the childʼs. This approach does not assume that the child is at fault or that the parent is inept. Rather, the emphasis is placed on helping parentsʼ interactions with their children become more positive and on changing parentsʼ responses to specific child behaviors.
