Catch Them Being Good
by Jody Kussin, Ph.D.

We’re pleased to announce that Catch Them Being Good - a Guide to Positive Parenting by Jody Kussin, PhD is now available at the Phillips Bookstore and through Amazon.com.  This exceptional guide can be used in clinics, schools, hospitals, synagogues and churches, private practice offices and community centers.   

Catch Them Being Good is a self-contained 12-week course for professionals to lead parents of children 2-18.  It is designed to provide a foundation of parenting so that each parent participant can proceed in a systematic manner to enhance their parent/child relationship and their parenting skills. 

Focusing on the positive, the basics of this course are the building blocks to an enriched parent/child relationship.  Kussin provides systematic guidelines for instructors to guide parents to guide children using a positive approach.  The course encourages parents to look for and enjoy the magic in their children.  Parents are taught to identify and name things they like about their children; they are encouraged to take time to enjoy them.  They are given a global view of child rearing as the creation and development of “citizens of the world.”  

This program is based on the recognition that each family has their own unique way of making it through a day. What is important is the respect and affection parents and children share.  Leaders are taught to tailor the information to meet the needs of each family...culturally, developmentally and sensitively.  

Catch Them Being Good contains all the material the professional needs to conduct positive parenting classes immediately:

  • Brief Overviews – provide at-a-glance road map for each class
  • Detailed Outlines – supply background information and guidelines for leading discussions
  • Role Play Exercises – age-specific practice opportunities for parents
  • Handouts, Homework and Development Information focuses on specific age-appropriate behavior and techniques for parents to be copied and distributed for each class.
