A worksite parenting program. 1990

R C Anderson, and R A Fox

With more and more companies offering wellness programs for their employees, it seems reasonable to offer parent training classes to employees as an educational tool and a means of coping with stress. A series of parenting classes was developed using the STAR Parenting Model. The STAR Model teaches parents to stop, think, ask, and respond to their children based on tenets of cognitive behavior management. Classes taught to faculty and staff of the university were well attended and participants indicated that the method positively altered their parenting practices. Parents are challenged by their young children and by their jobs and careers. Parenting education at work may help to ease some employee stress and improve their parenting practices.
