Preparing Our Kids For Success

This 2.5-hour truancy intervention parent class is “Trauma Informed” and specifically designed to help school districts support parents in intervening in absenteeism, truancy, and school performance. Like all Parent Project® programs, this class is based on cooperative learning norms, activity-based instruction, and uses behavior modification techniques. When parents engage in getting their children to school and support learning in collaboration with teachers and school officials, attendance and grades go up.

Preparing Our Kids For Success helps parents:

  • Rekindle their dreams and wishes for their children;

  • Better understand and recognize the signs of trauma;

  • Recognize the necessity of creating structure for children;

  • Identify effective strategies for getting kids to school;

  • Discuss successful methods to increase home/school communication;

  • List strategies for improving school performance; and

  • Implement the Homework Assignment Sheet, or use an online homework information system.

Preparing Our Kids For Success is offered in collaboration with school districts and communities to prevent truancy and minimize the need for referrals to truancy prevention services and juvenile Court. Classes can be offered by agencies in-person or on Zoom. By working with Parenting Solutions your community will also be introduced to our other services that can teach parents to engage in other destructive behaviors that can shatter dreams and end lives.
