Our Approach: Evidence-Based Strategies for Lasting Change
Parenting Journey 52
|
Our Parenting Journey 52 program is grounded in evidence-based behavior change theories such as Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Social Cognitive Theory, the Transtheoretical Model, the Health Belief Model, and Self-Determination Theory. We also apply a variety of effective methods, including Behavioral Skills Training (BST), to help parents develop practical, sustainable skills. Through personalized consultation, modeling, reinforcement, and goal setting, we empower families to create positive, lasting change. Our dedicated educators provide ongoing support to help each family build confidence and resilience, fostering loving and healthy relationships.

Cognitive-based Integrative (CBI), Neurodevelopmental Models
In addition to traditional approaches, we incorporate evidence-based, advanced neurodevelopmental and social-psychological models to address behavior change at a deeper level, enhancing efficacy and supporting long-term sustainability (DeCarli, 2009):
Throughout the year, parents receive personalized coaching, hands-on practice, and ongoing support to build confidence and foster positive behaviors. We focus on modeling, reinforcement, goal setting, and motivation—empowering families to create loving, resilient homes that last a lifetime.
In addition to traditional approaches, we incorporate evidence-based, advanced neurodevelopmental and social-psychological models to address behavior change at a deeper level, enhancing efficacy and supporting long-term sustainability (DeCarli, 2009):
- Neurodevelopmental Protective Pathway Model (NPPM): This model identifies developmental factors that predispose teens to risky behaviors and highlights critical intervention periods to effectively reduce such risks, promoting the sustainability of positive behaviors (DeCarli, 2009).
- Self-Motivated Transformational Choice Model (SM-TCM): Combining insights from the NPPM, Emotional Re-activity Change Model (ERCM), Health Belief Model (HBM), and Transtheoretical Model, the SM-TCM provides individuals with the skills to understand how their choices influence their lives. It guides them through each stage of behavior change, increasing intervention efficacy and supporting lasting outcomes (DeCarli, 2009).
- Emotional Re-activity Change Model (ERCM): This self-administered tool helps individuals modify brain responses in challenging situations, promoting emotional regulation and sustainable behavior change through neuroplasticity. When used after acquiring skills from the SM-TCM, the ERCM reinforces adaptive responses, boosting the durability of long-term change (DeCarli, 2008).
Throughout the year, parents receive personalized coaching, hands-on practice, and ongoing support to build confidence and foster positive behaviors. We focus on modeling, reinforcement, goal setting, and motivation—empowering families to create loving, resilient homes that last a lifetime.
