The purpose for facilitating parenting skills support groupsIn society, many counselors have to counsel parents that have problems getting along with their children, or want to ameliorate their parenting skills. Thus, using community support programs will enable each parent to enhance his or her ability to channel through some communication barriers and become parents that are more productive.
Rationale/Purpose
As part of psychoeducational group work, parenting skills are part of life skills training. When a parent learns new skills that can enhance his or her ability to be a better parent, the skills building aspect of the training focuses on assisting individuals to recognize and improve in areas of their lives in which they fall short. During the parenting skills process, parents learn coping responses, and learn new and appropriate behaviors CITATION Gad12 \l 1033 (Gadding, 2012).
Although purposes for parenting skills training may differ, one of the primary reasons for forming a support group is that it teaches parents how to respond to their child’s behavioral problems, which can put children at risk of mental illness
