About the Course

Everyday Parenting gives you access to a toolkit of behavior-change techniques that will make your typical day in the home easier as you develop the behaviors you would like to see in your child. The lessons provide step-by-step instructions and demonstrations to improve your course of action with both children and adolescents. Among many techniques, you will learn how even simple modifications to tone of voice and phrasing can lead to more compliance. The course will also shed light on many parenting misconceptions and ineffective strategies that are routinely used. The key to the course is practice. It is not enough to know the strategies; you have to do them to reap the rewards. Using the techniques on a temporary basis will lead to permanent change. Chances are your parenting is perfectly fine and working the way you would like. But if you have any frustrations with your child or would like improve your effectiveness in changing your child’s behavior, these videos will be a very useful guide. Subtitles available in Chinese and Spanish....

I absolutely learn so much from this course. I have adult children but I still could use many of the techniques in my profession as a teacher. I would love to share the techniques with the other teachers and parents (especially) as well. Thank you so much Prof. Kazdin!

I find Behavioral therapy, especially Professor Kazdin's methods to be very helpful with children.

for every parent who wants to learn how to raise children in a scientific way, must learn the very basics of behavioral therapy which has been summarized in this course.

Dr. Kazdin, this course, and research-based parenting techniques used in this course were TOP-NOTCH. I honestly could not be more thankful for this course at this time in my life as a parent of a pretty difficult 2 year old. Thank you so much for all of the strategies.

This course not only provides techniques of enhancing or changing a child's behavior but also tells you professional help a parent can seek. It reiterates the importance of parenting and makes you realize about the powerful effect of proper parenting in a child's life.

Excellent course for Parents. This is a structured program to rectify any child or make them even better with clear steps. Prof Alan Kazdin makes the learning enjoyable employing visuals, examples and he himself enacting how to talk. Must take course for every parent.

As a psychologist in private practice I will definitely be referring parent clients to this accessible and easy-to-understand instruction. It has been a privilege to participate and learn directly from Alan Kazdin, whose books and work I referred to when training.

As a mental health professional I knew all the techniques, but as Kazdin says knowing does not automatically lead to doing. As a parent I sometimes also struggle to apply what I know. This course was motivating and well designed. It also includes good examples/cases.

I learned a lot from this course. I already have a few knowledge about the ABC instruction but attending this course helped me learn and understand more about it. Hopefully, in the future, I can practice the things I've learned from this course. Thank you very much!

Awesome. Eye opening and very helpful. I can recommend this course to all parents and guardians. I have done many online courses but this has been by far the one I loved the most. The Professor has such pleasantness and teaches gentle ways of moulding children.

Helpful in understanding both the reasons for my child's behaviors and for concrete and established methods for altering those behaviors that are troubling. I appreciate the coursework and am practicing these techniques. Thank everyone involved in this process.

Great course!! It really provided me amazing tools and techniques to improve my parent skills. After all, no one teaches us how to be parents. That's why this kind of courses are so valuable and relevant. Thank you so much for including this in your catalogue.

Thank you so much, Doctor Alan Kazdin.

It's so lucky I got the chance to meet you here in Coursera. Hope you can offer more courses.

I hope to visit you someday when I go to USA.

I will do more practice and share my experience to more parents!

Good luck!

Nice course. I liked specially the lessons regarding positive opposites and how to use that to harvest the behavior we desire in our child. As prof. Kazdin teaches, to know the tools is not enough. Now we need to put the lessons to practice on a regular basis.

This was such a helpful and practical course on parenting. I learned a lot and had things I could implement in my life immediately. There was a good balance between explaining the psychology while also making it approachable. Highly recommend for all parents!

I'm a 1st time mom myself and this course was an eye opener on so many levels for me personally. I learned a great deal about myself as a parent and how I needed the training rather than trying to train my kids to act or behave in a certain desirable manner.

I found this course to be very beneficial because when I become a grandparent I would like to be able to help my children with their children. Their were many pointers on how to grandparent or parent a child as well as learning the ABC's pf child rearing.

Introduces tools and techniques that are familiar but uses them in much more effective ways to change unwanted behaviors and encourage favorable behaviors. I found it the adaptations and extra tools introduced for adolescents and teens especially useful.

This course was very helpful and great. I learned so many new techinques to help with chilf behavior, other than the simple techniques that my parents used that looking back really did not work for my siblings or I. Thank you for the great informal course!

Excelente curso, me encanto. Aprendí muchas cosas útiles para el cambio conductual en los niños y sobre todo lograr cambios duraderos y positivos. Es un curso que creo que TODO padre debería hacer y también psicólogos que trabajen con niños y adolescentes.
