Empower Parents By the Adolescent Mental Health Care : Learning Systematic Positive Discipline for Parents in Cuiyuan Dongxiao Middle School

Empower Parents By the Adolescent Mental Health Care : Learning Systematic Positive Discipline for Parents in Cuiyuan Dongxiao Middle School 

From May 4^th to 5^th, 2024, the Adolescent Mental Health Care program invited Senior Positive Discipline Mentor, Ms. Zheng Shuli, to conduct a "Systematic Positive Discipline for Parents" course for 39 parents of students from the project's pilot school, Shenzhen Cuiyuan Dongxiao Middle School. The campaign aims to develop outstanding home-schooling volunteers and to influence and assist more parents.

This course mainly focuses on eight themes: "Challenges of Raising Teenagers", "What's Your Parenting Style?", "Decoding the Purposes Behind Teenagers' Misbehavior", "Understanding Your and Your Child's Personalities", "Emotional Management for Teenagers", "Encouraging Confident Teenagers", "Solving Problems Together with Teenagers in Adolescence", and "Learning to Let Go with Love". Through forms such as group discussions, brainstorming, and role-playing, parents are fully engaged, jointly discovering and exploring better ways and methods to raise children.

After the two-day study, many parents stayed behind to actively discuss the follow-up implementation supervision plan with Principal Dong Xiangqing and Mentor Zheng Shuli, hoping to truly apply the learned content to family education. The Adolescent Mental Health Care program will also continue to accompany the parents in their learning, providing more powerful support for the healthy growth of children.
