Guidelines for Leaders of Education for Parenthood Programs in the Salvation Army: Helpful Suggestions and Information on How to Implement the Program.
Salvation Army. New York, NY.
This guide, part of the Salvation Army's 12-part Education for Parenthood series includes sections on: parenting as a spiritual ministry, child growth and development, program goals and evaluation, practical experience, community and other resources, certification and materials. The series is aimed at preventing problems of teenage parents through helping teenagers gain understanding about what's involved in parenthood and/or child care careers. Programs were tested in Salvation Army Programs during the 3-year grant. The programs are similar to one another in basic content, with individual program approaches varied to meet the needs of specific groups: troubled teenagers in residential care (including pregnant girls and teenage mothers); inner-city teenagers; Salvation Army youth leaders; summer camp, day camp and community center leaders; parents and grandparents of teenagers; and any adult interested in the development of effective relationships with young children. Individualized programs may be composed of units drawn from one or more of the program models. Resource materials cited include booklets and posters, and audio-visuals. (BF)
