Los Niños Bien Educados – This is a culturally adapted version of the Confident Parenting Program which focuses on children ages 4-12, and was created by the Center For The Improvement Of Child Caring. It is the country's first culturally-adapted parenting skill-building program designed expressly for Latino parents. In the 12-week course, parents are taught evidence-based methods for reinforcing positive behaviors and implementing appropriate consequences for negative behaviors. Short-term goals of the program are to reduce family risk factors for problem behavior and increase family protective factors. Long range goals of the program are that participants can guide their children's development away from delinquency, dropping out and substance abuse, and to experience a sense of pride in their heritage.
