Successful Parenting Strategies (SPS) is the result of collaboration between Benton Harbor Area School (BHAS) Administration and Andrews University. SPS is a seven-week course delivered by Social Work students and graduates of Andrews University. The program was designed to build a sense of community among parents in the BHAS and help participants develop skills proven to improve the likelihood of rearing children who are self-regulated, self-aware, and effective communicators. The program provides a safe environment for parents to connect with other parents who share the desire to see their children succeed.
The program aims and objectives are:
This SPS course provides parenting skills and communication tools that support positive parent role modeling. The course builds competencies that are needed by parents to help reduce aggression, develop self-regulation and enhance social skills in their children.
