About this title

Synopsis

Parent Education: Working with Groups and Individuals revises Group Parent Education, first published in 2004, by introducing new concepts and strategies and expanding the approach for parent groups to include working individually with parents.

This edition includes the earlier book's classic content on the rationale, assumptions, history, and evolution of group parent education, as well as the conceptual frameworks for understanding group dynamics and the role of the group leader. It builds on this foundation with new resources and service delivery models. It introduces a continuum of parent education services in a conceptual framework from prevention to intervention, and focuses on relationship-building between the parent educator and parents. It also examines common issues and challenges in the parent educator role.

Designed to serve as a core textbook for parent and family life education classes, Parent Education incorporates new activities related to the content, along with video examples and discussion prompts. It is ideal for upper division and graduate level courses in parent education, social work, nursing, mental health, and early childhood education.

Glen Palm, Ph.D., CFLE, is a professor emeritus at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. Dr. Palm is a licensed parent educator and has worked in the field for 35 years. He has written extensively about fathers, parent education, and ethics, and coauthored Group Parent Education and Fathers in Early Childhood Programs.

She is a licensed parent educator and directed an Early Childhood Family Education program in Minnesota for over 20 years.
