The Parenting With Dignity® curriculum presents effective techniques for raising responsible, independent children. PWD advocates permitting children to make some of their own decisions, and to experience the consequences early on, so that they can act responsibly when alone, and become more independent when they grow older. Together, we can help prevent child abusePWD teaches parents and caregivers to rethink their approach to discipline, punishment and empowerment. Fundamental to the Parenting With Dignity curriculum is a focus on developing parenting skills that help to address many of the child abuse causes perpetrated by inexperienced and unprepared parents. No person aspires to be an abuser of children, and few parents or caregivers intentionally abuse their children. However, it is estimated that more than 2,000 children died nationwide in 2001 as a result of abuse or neglect. Five to six children die each day as a result of child abuse or neglect and approximately 84 percent were abused by a parent. Although there are a multitude of government and private treatment services available for abused or maltreated children, not enough is being done to prevent child abuse before it occurs. The Parenting With Dignity curriculum affords a practical prevention solution.
More often than not, physical abuse is a result of excessive discipline or physical punishment that is unnecessary and is inappropriate for the child's age. The parent may simply be unaware of the magnitude of force with which he or she strikes a child. One of PWD curriculum's key points is teaching parents how to modify their approach to discipline, and how to instill a sense of responsible decision making in their kids which results in behavior improvement.
