Nobody's Perfect Parenting Program Overview
The Nobody’s Perfect parenting program aims to improve participants’ capabilities to improve and maintain the health of their children (aged 0-5 years).
It is a Canadian best practice, with clear measured impacts on positive parenting which can be readily adapted internationally to other cultures.
The objectives are to:
promote positive parenting;
increase parents’ understanding of children’s health, safety and behaviour;
help parents build on the skills they have and learn new ones;
improve parents’ self-esteem and coping skills;
increase self-help and mutual support, and;
bring parents in contact with community services and resources.
