PARENTING VIDEO CURRICULUM

Parenting Teenagers for Positive Results Video Curriculum by Jim Burns. Group Publishing, 2001 There is perhaps no better way to develop parenting skills than by comparing notes with youth culture and family expert Jim Burns (via video), watching humorous family vignettes featuring "real" family situations, and sharing with other parents of teens and preteens in a interactive, guided, small group setting. Parents will be equipped to parent their teen, encouraged and affirmed in their role, and able to forge lifeline friendships with other parents so they can navigate the teen years with strength and confidence. This curriculum includes a video, leader's guide and six participant guides.

Understanding Your Teenager Video Curriculum by Wayne Rice and Ken Davis; Youth Specialties, 1992. A six-part video series that deals with important issues and topics in understanding teenagers. The video segments are short and meant to promote discussion. A good resource to use for a parenting series or a potential outreach event to unchurched parents.

Parenting Adolescents Video Curriculum by Kevin Huggins Navpress, 1992. Based on Kevin Huggins Parenting Adolescents book, this video series seeks to encourage and equip parents to raise godly kids. Parent’s needs, conflicts, depth of character & spiritual maturity are a large focus in the video series. This is a more in-depth examination of parenting than in Understanding Your Teen Video Curriculum.

HomeWord Training Videos, HomeWord, 2000. Jim Burns sixteen part video series for youth workers.
