This website is a project of the Center for Health and Safety Culture at Montana State University to promote the healthy mental, emotional, and behavioral development of children by actively growing their social and emotional skills, such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
On the website, parents and those in a parenting role learn about strategies to thoughtfully address challenges with their children while at the same time growing social and emotional skills, increasing well-being, and reducing risky behaviors.
The website includes tools that are organized developmentally by the age of the child. At the core of each of the tools is the 5-step intentional parenting process that is grounded in learning theory, previous work on intentional communication, and informed by leading scholars knowledgeable about social and emotional skills.
Parents and those in a parenting role can select an age-specific tool to address their parenting challenge. By reading or listening to an audio version of the tool, parents learn about and utilize the process to address their parenting challenge. With the use of the 5-step parenting process, parents become more comfortable and confident applying the process to other issues. With repeated engagement in the 5-step parenting process, social and emotional skills are improved in both parents and children. Over time, improved social and emotional skills in children increase well-being and reduce risky behaviors (such as underage drinking).
