Dear Member,

We invite you to join us on May 9th from 12:00 to 1:00 pm EST for a discussion with Elisa Romano (she/he), Professor at the University of Ottawa's School of Psychology. Her presentation is entitled "Overview and preliminary results of a Parenting Program to Promote Positive Discipline".

Please, sign here!

Abstract:

While the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child emphasizes the right of children to be protected from all forms of violence, physical and emotional punishment remains widespread. This presentation will provide an overview of punishment-based parenting strategies before describing the Positive Discipline in Everyday Parenting (PDEP) program, developed by Dr. Joan Durrant (University of Manitoba) to help parents transition from punishing children to positive parenting. Finally, preliminary results from a quasi-experimental project evaluating the effectiveness of PDEP will be presented.

We encourage you to share this virtual event with your students and colleagues!
