PARENTING SERIES: P1 – LIFE WITH KIDS

No Instructions Included

The Big Picture

The first pamphlet in the series focuses on identifying the key responsibilities of being a
parent. The exercises in the pamphlet let the parent do a self-assessment of their current status
as a parent, identifying their strengths and weaknesses.

The additional IM content is designed to help parents begin to develop a sense of
responsibility. Instead of blaming someone else for their problems, the goal is to help parents
begin to identify situations in their lives where they have control or don’t have control and to
help them learn ways to change what they can, and manage what they can’t.

The IM also introduces the issues of anger and self-centeredness that many parents have.
Learning to manage anger and gaining awareness of the feelings and needs of others is a
theme addressed in the additional IM material for each pamphlet.
