Better Parenting Plus: Community discussion guide (Uganda)

The Better Parenting Plus Community Discussion Guide is intended to facilitate guided discussions and learning by parents, caregivers and others, all of whom are members of SILC (Savings and Internal Lending Communities). The focus is on improving parenting knowledge, attitudes and skills. Better Parenting is a lifelong learning process from which all of us can benefit during different times in our lives.

The Community Discussion Guide has six basic parts:

• Understanding Parenting (parenting responsibility, social rules & parenting styles)
• Understanding Children (their differences and temperaments)
• Learning Parenting Skills #1: Communication and Setting Limits
• Learning Parenting Skills #2: Discipline and Supervision
• Being a Good Example to Children
• Additional Issues for Family Well-being (initiated by the Sustainable Outcomes for Children and Youth Project/ Uganda)
