Download or read book A Foster Parent Training Program for Managing Challenging Behaviors in Foster Children written by Robin Contreras and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this project was to locate a potential funding source and write a grant to fund a training program for foster parents who are facing challenges with foster children under their care. The goal of this project is to help increase knowledge about best-practices in parenting children with challenging behaviors, while decreasing foster parent stress through self-care techniques. The program, unlike others, will give insight on the significance of attachment and how it relates to behaviors exhibited by foster children. The Ralph M. Parson Foundation was selected as the potential fonder due to its commitment to enhancing the lives of disadvantaged populations and improving the well-being of children. The host agency, Aspiranet, will expand their services to include the proposed foster parent training program. The actual submission and/or funding of this grant were not requirements for the successful completion of the project.

Download or read book Foster Parents Perceptions of Their Knowledge Skills and Abilities in Relation to the Behavioral Challenges of Foster Youth written by Melissa Erin Hall and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex, long-term, and prevalent behavioral problems and needs of foster children and youth continue to be documented (Farmer et al., 2010; United States Department of Health and Human Services [USDHHS], 2005). However, research indicates that foster parents are not adequately prepared or trained to address these challenging behaviors (e.g. Dorsey et al., 2008; Lee & Holland, 1991; Puddy & Jackson, 2003). Foster parent perspectives and the inclusion of their input concerning foster parenting and the behavioral problems of foster youth are needed to examine this crucial problem area (Park & Helton, 2010). The intent of this multi-case study was to explore foster parents' perceptions of their knowledge, skills, and abilities to address the behavioral challenges of foster youth. More specifically, this study examined what foster parents perceive they need to help successfully fulfill their fostering role

This book was released on 2018 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to provide a greater understanding of the relationships between foster parent training, parenting self-efficacy (PSE), and positive parenting behaviors. This study also aimed to explore some of the challenges that foster parents report in trying to positively parent their foster children. A snowball approach was used to identify past and present foster parents (N = 297) from across the U.S. Participants completed an anonymous, online survey measuring their experience with foster parent training, PSE, and parenting behaviors. Quantitative results indicated different curricula predicted different aspects of PSE, and both Nurturance PSE and Achievement PSE predicted positive parenting behaviors. Qualitative results revealed that the most commonly reported foster parenting challenges were related to foster parenting agencies, child behaviors, and biological families.
