“The author acknowledges the need for a diverse set of parenting curricula to cover the diverse needs of parents. Diverse parenting programs are an advantage because one program can’t possibly meet the needs and interests of all parents. The challenge is finding a curriculum that will best suit a specific parent or group of parents. The author suggests eight characteristics when choosing appropriate written curricula. They are the objectives of the curriculum, its content, the methods used to present the content, the emotional support emanating from it, the type of leadership, the format, cost, and its availability.” – Description by the The Children, Youth and Family Consortium
