Active Parenting 4th Edition Program Kit: Ages 5-12

Valuable skills to bring back the joy of parenting ages 5-12

Active Parenting 4th Edition (AP4) contains the essential Active Parenting model that has benefited millions of families for over 30 years: encouragement, communication, and non-violent discipline. With this edition, we’ve added more content for today’s parents, including bullying, school success, and drug prevention; plus information for parents of special needs children.

Teach right out of the box!

The Leader’s Guide gives step-by-step instructions for a lively class filled with video, activities, and group discussion. The video is available on DVDs or embedded in a PowerPoint presentation.

The revised better parenting program includes the essential Active Parenting model that has benefited millions of parents, plus:

  • How brain development affects children’s behavior and decision-making
  • Improved discipline and communication
  • How to prevent future use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs
  • Parenting a special-needs child
  • 7 Smart Things you can do immediately for school success

As with all the Active Parenting programs, you will have evidence-based tools you need to offer parenting classes in which parents are able to learn and laugh in a supportive environment.
