Our cultural backgrounds and how we were parented heavily influence how we then parent our own children and influence their self-esteem, self-discipline and social competence. A parenting programme developed by the Race Equality Foundation (REF) aims to give parents the opportunity to reflect on their style of parenting and the behaviour techniques that they are using while considering new approaches and attitudes to parenting.
Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities (SFSC) is a preventative programme devised with the needs of black and minority ethnic parents in mind, but delivered to families of all backgrounds with children aged up to 18 years old. The programme – divided into 12 three-hour sessions delivered in consecutive weeks plus an introduction session – aims to increase parental self-esteem, confidence and enhance family relationships. It also aims to reduce child behaviour problems and promote children’s self-esteem.
