Teaching Your Child. Televised Parent Training Program.

"Teaching Your Child" was a televised parent training program conducted in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The program was designed to reach parents in low income areas and was intended to assist families with young children by presenting practical applications of basic psychological theory. This booklet was the main workbook for the entire program. It presented the concepts of positive reinforcement, aversive control, the use of punishment, and task behavior in everyday language. The workbook was programed and had cartoon characters supporting the textual examples. Two other booklets, EM 010 828 and EM 010 827, are an integral part of the program. (MC)
