Common Sense Parenting

School Age Children (6-16)
Common Sense Parenting (CSP) for school aged children (6-16 yrs.) is a parenting program that can be applied to every family. The program's easy-to-learn techniques address issues of communication, discipline, decision making, relationships, self-control, and school success.  The proactive skills and techniques taught in Common Sense Parenting classes have helped parents from diverse backgrounds create healthy family relationships that foster safety and well-being at home, in school and in the community.

Toddlers and Preschoolers (2-5)
Set up your child and yourself for success and learn how discipline can be more about teaching than punishment, and more positive than negative for parents and children. Time and research-tested Common Sense Parenting® skills have been adapted to meet the needs of parents and caregivers of young children ages 2 through 5. In this second edition, parents are given enhanced parenting skills and updated parent steps and clearer explanations for how and why to use these steps with children:

  • Set reasonable expectations based on your child's age, development, and abilities
  • Give your child the nurturing, love, and praise he or she needs to thrive
  • Use a parent's version of "show and tell" to both prevent problems and correct behavior
  • Create plans for staying calm - for you and your child
