What are parents anonymous?
Parents Anonymous® is an American non -profit organization to prevent abuse of children by strengthening families and parents through mutual support and education. It was founded by Jolly K., a single mother and her social worker in 1970, when she wanted to create a more stable environment for her child. Since then, the organization has grown to parents throughout the United States and classes are offered in different languages.
In contrast to other anonymous groups, the parents' meetings are guided by trained doctors who specialize in mental health. These leaders are strong advocates of their job programs, but they are there to provide instructions and advice to parents who can face problems in their families. Parents are also strongly involved in providing support and mutual understanding when they are losing their parenting challenges.
Men and women attending meetings of parents Anonymous® are diverse in nature. Some may have any problems with the parenting of their children becauseThe circumstances, while others may want to simply mix with others who understand their unique parental challenges. Those who have misused their children in the past are also often recommended to participate in meetings to learn healthier ways of solving incorrect behavior and other parental stress.
Parents are usually invited during each meeting to share any problems that can get advice from other members and trained advisors. They will learn how to manage common parental problems such as defiance, bad signs, incorrect behavior and more serious problems such as children's abuse and drug use. The purpose of groups is to give parents a safe place to express fears and frustration, learn new management mechanisms that are healthy, and discover ways to reduce stress to avoid things to happen on their children.
