What is Adaptive Parenting?

Adaptive Parenting is an approach based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Contextual Behavior Science. The aim is to build psychological flexibility – the ability to adapt to unexpected life events. It is not a prescriptive parenting approach about what to do or not do, but rather focuses on how to be. Building personal resilience and flexibility naturally improves parenting skills and helps parents to be grounded and intentional with their decisions. With psychological flexibility, you can bend rather than break in the face of challenges. This allows you to persist and move towards what’s important despite hardship. The goal is to develop the mental elasticity to be self-aware, determine if your parenting is working in your context, and align it with your values. When parents learn to be Adaptive, they find the answers within themselves rather than needing external parenting advice.

Adaptive Parenting Online Course

Parenting is a personal, meaningful and often complicated experience. When you’re raising a child with extra needs the conventional parenting advice isn’t always enough. The Adaptive Parenting Online Course was developed based on our work with hundreds of families, and designed to give parents the most relevant information to take home to apply directly. Parents who take these classes will learn how to understand their child’s behavior and build new skills to navigate those inevitable challenges. Parents who feel stuck will find new paths to move forward in meaningful ways. Any parent or caregiver interested in learning more can attend these classes. The content is especially helpful for parents supporting children with behavioral, developmental or medical concerns.

The Adaptive Parenting Class Helps:

  • • Understand your child’s behavior and how context helps identify patterns.

  • • Learn skills to help your child cooperate and make daily life a little easier.

  • • Build your resilience to face the challenges of parenting with confidence.
