Tools for Use in Parenting Discussion Groups

As you join the hundreds who have already started discussion groups using Please Stop the Rollercoaster! How Parents of Teenagers Can Smooth Out the Ride, you have the opportunity to learn from their experiences. We have learned, over time, that there are several tools that can benefit groups. All are downloadable documents:

• Confidentiality Agreement (PDF file)
• First Meeting Blueprint (PDF file)
• Maintaining Smooth Group Dynamics (PDF file)
• Group Behavior Reminders (PDF file)
• Assessment Instrument used in Chapter 5 (PDF file)

As you experience your parenting discussion group, please keep us informed about additional tools you feel would be of benefit*. And, please let us hear your feedback on the experience - what you learned that was most significant, stories, comments about your group and/or the book.

*here is one such tool: some group members want to post their new Parenting Plan right on the refrigerator: My Parenting Plan (pdf file)

Your feedback is essential. Please take 5 minutes to fill out our survey form, and if you've been in a group, please make sure that your colleagues return the form, as well. download now: Rollercoaster Survey (pdf file)
