My first assumption of family therapy was to involve the parents and the individual that had the problem. This book explored further what it

In this model, environmental control is the belief or disbelief that there is an ability to control nature. Depending on how the patient views environmental control, health care could have little value and ultimately be refused. There is also the aspect that there is a greater power in control of the universe and patients may need time and space to worship or meditate in prayer. As the nurse we must provide as much aid as we can while staying within our professional boundaries (Davidhizar, Giger, pg. 107).

Because PCIT was originally developed as a treatment program for children with disruptive behaviors, the core tenets of the program focus on behavioral strategies to improve the parent-child relationship (Eyberg 199). Treatment sessions for PCIT involve active engagement of both the parent and the child in which the counselor or therapist acts a mediating coach in order to teach positive interaction skills. First, the therapist observes the parent-child interaction and tallies their behaviors on a coding sheet to

The Parenting Our Children to Excellence (PACE) has been established as a research-based preventative intervention to support families by using discussion and activities to address practical parenting issues and promote child-competence (Dumas, Arriaga, Begle and Longoria, 2010). It attempts to teach parents to focus on their parental strengthens rather than on remediating deficits in behavior of their children. It especially, gives parents tools to better deal with young children who regularly refuse to cooperate and become aggressive or withdrawal when frustrated (Dumas et al., 2010). This intervention is an 8 week intervention geared toward parents of children ages 2-6 years old and is usually provided in conjunction with the child’s current child-care placement (Dumas et al., 2010; Begle and Dumas, 2011).

CYP 3.1 – 3.4 Explain how different types of interventions can promote positive outcomes for children and young people where development is not following the expected pattern.

he Positive Parenting program intervenes with parenting skills and the needs of the family are assessed. The Positive parenting program “... addresses the needs of families on many different standards and administers interventions at many different quantities.” By doing this the program is able to help every family not just certain ones. “The system works to improve social, emotional, and developmental outcomes for children by working with parents to build their knowledge base and skill level while increasing their confidence.” (Benedetti). The program is able to help these families “...by working on the knowledge base and skill level while increasing their confidence.” as parents receive proper parenting advice they are able to treat their children properly. Triple P has something called “Universal Triple P” which works with children up to the age of 16 . “It is a massive media campaign that takes advantage of local television, internet, radio, newspaper, and school systems to distribute their message to parents.”(Benedetti). Triple P also introduced an intervention known as Every Family which was also very successful. It was the first positive parenting strategy to produce important and successful effects (Benedetti).

Hispanic parents are known for many different characteristics and habits that make their children’s lives unique to other cultures. Such as how in order to go out you had to slave away the day before or even hours before in order

Triple P – Positive Parenting Program is a comprehensive parent-training program with the purpose of reducing child maltreatment and children’s behavioral problems. It is built upon a public health approach and as such was designed to treat large populations. The five core principles taught to parents are:

"The Temple [of The Sagrada Família] grows slowly, but this has always been the case with everything destined to have a long life. Hundred-year-old oak trees take many years to grow tall; on the other hand, reeds grow quickly, but in autumn the wind knocks them down and there is no more to be said"1. These words, spoken by Antoni Gaudi about his life-long work, Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, are a means to justify the extremely long time needed for the construction of the Sagrada Família, while referencing the themes and structural concepts he borrowed from nature in his designs. While this logical explanation may give comfort to some, others doubt the temple's eventual completion, as its construction has just passed 123 years,

Per Brown, Pryzwansky, & Schulte (2011) parental consultation is different than parent education or therapy as a family unit. Parent consultation is aimed at the family unit to find what issues may be related to the unwanted behavior from the child (Brown, Pryzwansky, & Schulte, 2011). Per Pollet & Lombreglia (2008) parent education is a short-term intervention focused on the parents and learning skills such as conflict resolution and interpersonal communication. In contrast, a parent consultation centers on the family relationship and aids new parents with basic ideals of parenting skills (Sanders & Burke, 2014). Moreover, a parent consultation has four basic steps

A basic PCIT program is done in two phases, relationship enhancement as well as discipline and compliance. At the start of the program, the counsellor explains the key principles and techniques to the client. A one-way mirror is used to observe as the parent interacts with the children using the techniques taught to him. The therapist may also choose to provide live coaching to the client (parent) using an ear bug device. Progress on the children’s and parent’s part is highlighted though tracking of targeted behaviour which is graphed over a certain period of time (Hembree-Kigin, 2013). Through this phase, the parent is taught how to minimize negative elements in the relationship and also how to develop new communication

PCIT stands for Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. This type of therapy is designed for parents of children ages 2 to 6 who exhibit behavioral or emotional problems. Brenda will experience two stages of interaction in PCIT. The first stage is called Child-Directed Interaction. In this stage the parents are taught skills that help them interact more positively with their child. This stage focuses on positive attention and praising of the child as well as avoiding approaches that trigger negative behavior. The second stage is called Parent-Directed Interaction. In this stage the parent will learn to give clear commands to their child. They will also be taught to consistently enforce appropriate consequences like time-out when their child

In a meta-analysis addressing the effectiveness of parent training programs on reducing problem behaviors in children, Piquero, et al. (2009) created a lengthy list of guidelines for future research on developmental prevention strategies. This list included 11 different ideas, all of which Piquero et al. found to be important for the advancement of knowledge in area of developmental prevention. Of particular importance was the fourth suggestion: “there is a need to identify the particular ingredients that make the specific early family/parent training programs successful at inhibiting antisocial and delinquent behaviors” (pg. 108). If researchers chose to prioritize that over other research options, then more focused efforts could be made to
