Organized as a series of nine leaflets followed by nine corresponding lessons, leaflets for parents concern: (1) an overview of the leaflets; (2) readiness: guiding normal development; (3) empowerment: achieving self-discipline; (4) nurturance: building a healthy self-esteem; (5) education: helping prepare the child for positive experiences in school; (6) wellness: nutrition, health, and safety; (7) awareness: sex education; (8) lifestyles: adapting to change; and (9) supports: seeking help. Leaflets offer facts, activities, guidelines, and reference lists. For extension agents delivering the nine corresponding lessons, a lesson plan is provided for each session of parenting instruction. Plans enumerate objectives and materials, provide an introductory statement, describe learning activities for parents, and list references. (RH)
