South Region
​Parents as Teachers

Personal Home Visits

Personal visits are the cornerstone of the Parents as Teachers model.

Certified Parent Educators partner, facilitate, and reflect with families to deliver customized visits that emphasize: 
Parent-Child Interaction
​

Encouraging parenting skills that are warm, responsive, encouraging and communicative, and incorporating activities families are already doing and building on them.

Parent educators help parents understand and practice serve and return interactions – from responding to the babbling and smiles of their infants to the back and forth talking of their toddlers that build the brains of young children.

Development-Centered Parenting
​

Building parents understanding of child development and making explicit connections between the child’s stage of development and behaviour in order to facilitate parents’ ability to identify and understand causes of behaviours and move towards solutions as needed.

Addressing developmental topics with consistent, key messages on a regular basis including attachment, discipline, health, nutrition, safety, sleep, transitions/routines and healthy births.


​Family Well-Being
Emphasizing family strengths, capabilities and skills. Setting and monitoring family-centered goals. Building protective factors based on the Strengthening Families™ approach including parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, concrete support in times of need and children’s social and emotional development.

Resource Network
Connecting families to community resources and supports. ​At every Parents as Teachers personal visit, we help you strengthen and build protective factors to keep you, your child and your family healthy, strong and resilient.
