Why PEP?

1

PEP presents an authoritative, or democratic, style of parenting that promotes:

  • Discipline as a way to teach, not punish, children.
  • Connecting, listening, encouraging, and being a non-anxious presence.
  • Setting structure and limits that foster a child’s sense of security.
  • Giving kids a voice and choices to foster autonomy and independence.

PEP promotes a strength-based parenting approach that aligns with research-tested best practices for child development.

  • Curricula focuses on age-appropriate child development, from preschoolers through teens.
  • Parents can choose classes to fit their schedules and needs.
  • We help parents reflect on the relationship with their child and see the world from their child’s viewpoint.
  • We give parents concrete skills and tools to strengthen their communication and relationship with their children.
  • By coming together with other parents in our programs, participants see that they are not alone
