## Incredible Years Blog

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

*I now know that we lacked the skills and strategies, as well as the understanding, to parent effectively and manage undesirable behaviour. Our life has changed substantially since starting IYs this year, 2013.*

*I am so happy and grateful for all the learning, readings, tools and relationships that have made this possible.*

*I am a primary school teacher and although we have strategies for classroom behaviour management, this was not always applicable to parenting.*

*My mother and I have learnt so much and grown so much in the past few months. It is my opinion that all parents, regardless of their children’s temperament and character, should attend IYs as this would greatly benefit all parents and children and grow a strong community and a strong generation. The children would then have great examples (models) of good/effective parenting that they can imitate as/when they become parents, thus a cycle would be created. The effects would be far reaching. I feel luck that my children have benefited in this way.*
