Check out our blog for social-emotional learning articles, news, and more!

We’re excited to announce two brand-new handouts by Incredible Years Program Developer Carolyn Webster-Stratton, designed to support both parent group leaders and parents directly. 

![1204B intro frame](https://www.incredibleyears.com/hs-fs/hubfs/The%20Incredible%20Years-%20Resources%20and%20Files/1204B%20intro%20frame.jpg?width=480&height=270&name=1204B%20intro%20frame.jpg)

🌟 For Parent Group Leaders & Caregivers:

**Building Your Support Network: A Guide to Identifying the People and Resources Who Help Keep Your Family Safe and Supported**

This interactive handout helps parent group leaders guide participants through the process of mapping out their personal support networks. It emphasizes how having reliable people and community resources can reduce parenting stress, prevent isolation, and create a safer environment for children.

Whether it's a trusted friend, a helpful neighbor, a community center, or a faith group, identifying these connections can make all the difference in a parent’s ability to cope and thrive.

Strong support systems don’t just benefit adults — they help children feel safer, too. When parents feel grounded and connected, they’re better equipped to model positive coping skills, handle challenges, and build strong family bonds.

🏠 For Parents:

**Helping Your Child Feel Safe and Secure at Home: A Parent’s Guide to Creating a Safe, Supportive, and Nurturing Environment**

This new handout offers practical guidance for parents on how to build a home where children feel protected, loved, and emotionally secure. It's not just about preventing physical harm — it’s about fostering trust, stability, and healthy communication.

What’s inside:

- Ideas for strengthening parent-child relationships
- Simple steps to create daily routines that build trust
- How to be a calming presence during tough times
- Tips for managing stress in positive ways

Children grow best when they feel safe. A nurturing home gives them the confidence to explore the world, build resilience, and develop into emotionally healthy adults.

Keeping children safe is more than preventing accidents. It’s about building strong, supportive relationships — both within the family and in the wider community.

These two new handouts are designed to be practical, encouraging, and easy to use, to help parents & caregivers create a safe, connected, and nurturing environment where children can thrive.
