PARENT EDUCATION SERVICES

The need for schools to offer parent education has never been more vital. While many school administrators fully recognize the priority for offering some model of parent education to their community, staffing and budgetary constraints create obstacles to pursuing such an initiative. Parent education often requires a partnership. WJR Consulting allows for full attention to establishing a robust parent education program.

Parent Programming

Today’s busy parents rely on schools to serve as a surrogate parent. They lean on their child’s school for guidance, information, and parent education. Equally palpable is a yearning for a greater sense of belonging and community. 

WJR Parent Educational Consulting has had enormous success and experience designing parent education programs for schools. A vast array of important topics is incorporated to educate parents on the myriad of issues confronting the complex developmental needs of their children.

Examples of these themes include: 

  • Digital Lives of Children

  • Understanding Emotional Lives of Children

  • Resilience in Parenting

  • Nutrition and Wellbeing

  • Effective Listening
