Cross Cultural Parenting Programme
The parenting programme aims to support ethnic parents struggling to raise their children in a new environment like Aotearoa/New Zealand, so they enjoy their parenting journey more while creating good conditions for their children to contribute and thrive.
The programme is delivered in two formats:
- One-on-one sessions – Before the session, a Shama’s social worker will do an assessment to determine the issues to be resolved.
- Group workshops
The topics covered in the workshops are:
- Ethnic family – culture and parenting
- New Zealand context of parenting
- New Zealand laws related to children
- Children’s rights
- Children’s needs and development goals
- Positive parenting principles
- Tools and tips for positive parenting
During the sessions, parents are welcome to share their stories, their experience and their potential positive parenting solutions.
