This guide was designed for use in home education programs aimed at helping both children and parents improve their self-confidence, as a preliminary step toward helping children succeed at school. Specific behavioral goals for the parent trainer, the parent, and the child are presented in five areas: (1) relationship to self, (2) relationship to adults (in the case of children) or relationship to children (in the case of adults), (3) relationship to peers, (4) relationship to materials and ideas, and (5) relationship to a group. These goals are to be met through training sessions, parents' group activities, and children's group activities. A few activities for parents to use with their children as a followup to training sessions are suggested. (JMB)
