Self-Help Parenting Guide

The purpose and intent of this self-help parenting guide is to offer parents an opportunity to expand upon their parenting skills while their child is in our program. We believe if parents are willing to study this guide and any other applicable resources, they will be better prepared for the re-integration of their child into the family. We provide the parenting guide not because we question the parenting skills of parents, but because we know that most parents would struggle with the teenagers enrolled in our program and the guide was developed for parents with a troubled teenager. RedCliff believes that parenting is a life long educational process and that most parents will benefit from this guide.
