Time Orientation and Parenting: Decreasing Stress by Focusing on the Future (CE 3)
Time Orientation and Parenting: Decreasing Stress by Focusing on the Future (CE 3)
Julia Felton, Ph.D.
Please plan to login by 8:40 AM to check-in. We will start promptly at 8:45 AM
Target audience: All levels
This workshop will discuss how stressful environments can shape parenting practices and where parents focus their attention when interacting with their children. Information will be presented on recent research demonstrating that parents who focus more on meeting their immediate needs experience greater parenting stress and engage in harsher parenting. The workshop will also teach participants how to engage parents in an evidence-based approach to help parents focus on what they want their relationship with their child to look like in the future. This brief (single-session) intervention helps parents consider how their behaviors will impact their relationship with their children in the future and has been shown to decrease harsh parenting and improve the parent-child relationship.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the relation between time orientation and both health and parenting outcomes.
- Explain how time orientation may impact the parent-child relationship.
- Apply an evidence-based intervention to increase individuals’ time orientation to parents who have challenging relationships with their children.
