  1. Positive parenting and building respect Claire Halsey Consultant Clinical Psychologist North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust www.firststepsstoke.co.uk www.triplep.net

  2. What’s the problem? • The Public say that low level crime, anti social behaviour and disrespect are big concerns. • Anti social behaviour is expensive – emotionally and financially at £3.4 billion a year. • We can predict those children who are likely to go on to engage in crime and anti social behaviour. • We know how to do something about it.

  3. Can we build respect?Social and emotional building blocks

  4. Good parenting is the key • Foundations for children’s social and emotional skills and relationships are laid in the early years • Parents teach by example a child’s values, skills and behaviours • Parenting practices influence whether children: • develop confidence • reach their potential • get on well with others

  5. Behaviours related to respect

  6. Longer term consequences of not intervening early • Poor relationships with others (few friends, failed love relationships) • Low resilience • Poor qualifications and work history • Low frustration tolerance • Easily upset and see “threat” everywhere • Greater involvement in antisocial behaviour and drug misuse • Families who feel let down, upset, angry or powerless.

  14. Key messages A successful parenting program needs to : • Be chosen from those that really work. • Be delivered by well trained, skilled staff who have ongoing support. • Use engagement strategies and enforcement if needed. • Have good links to universal services who are not afraid to refer.
