SUMMARY OF WHAT PARENT EDUCATORS
WILL FIND AT OUR SITE
Parent educators have the unique task of educating diverse groups of parents about a multitude of topics, each related to understanding their child’s development and building the parents’ skills. Often, parent educators must create their own programs and research hundreds of resources to compile the right combination of topic modules to fit their needs.
The author of The Parents Toolshop is a second-generation parent educator who has been training parents for over 25 years and training parent educators for over 15 years — and she’s happy to share her expertise and resources with you.
Check out the dozens of resources we have for parent educators:
Use our award-winning book, The Parent’s Toolshop: The Universal Blueprint for Building a Healthy Family to custom-design your programs. It has hundreds of topic program modules wrapped into one comprehensive one-stop resource. Don’t reinvent the wheel or spend days, months or years researching and compiling the most practical tips, techniques, theory, thoughts and twists — the book’s done that for you! Simply mix and match whatever components you want!
* Note: the only thing you can’t teach others, without Parents Toolshop® instructor certification, is our unique problem-solving system called “The Universal Blueprint® Parenting Success Formula.”
If you would like to teach Universal Blueprint® programs, attend our comprehensive parent educator certification training. The Parents Toolshop® “Tour Guide” Instructor Certification section describes what’s involved.
