Parenting Strategies 101 is designed to help parents with children struggling from defiant behavior, angry outbursts, temper tantrums, poor school performance, and more. PS101 works by walking you through the process to set up a behavior modification plan for your child and helping you track your child’s progress. Behavior data from PS101 can be securely emailed to you or a clinician, allowing you to see results over time and make any necessary modifications to the plan. PS101 will help you maintain a consistent behavior modification plan, by reminding you when consequences should end and rewards should be provided. This is an essential step to seeing real results in your child’s behavior.

In the worlds of clinical psychology, psychiatry, counseling, social work, and cognitive behavioral therapy, behavior modification plans have been utilized for years. Now with the Parenting Strategies 101 application, parents will have the ability to easily develop and maintain behavior modification plans for their own children, with or without the assistance of a clinician. PS101 can help parents with children that are struggling with oppositional/defiant behavior, angry outbursts, arguing, disrespectful behavior, temper tantrums, poor school performance, poor focus and mood instability.

PS101 will walk parents through the set up process to develop their own personal behavior modification plan for their child or children. You can use a single PS101 account to develop plans for multiple children in your home. PS101 will help parents identify consequences and rewards to utilize in their behavior modification plan. More importantly, PS101 will help parents maintain their behavior modification plan in a consistent way. PS101 does all the work for the parent. PS101 will alert the parent on their mobile device when a consequence has ended or when a child should be rewarded.

In addition, both parents will receive these alerts, allowing both parents to be on the same page in real time. This can be especially beneficial for separated families, allowing consistency when a child transfers from one parent’s home to another’s. Consistency is one of the most important factors in any behavioral plan, but it is also one of the most difficult factors to achieve. PS101 allows parents to achieve a high level of consistency which leads to a behavior modification plan that truly works.

Parenting Strategies 101 also records your child’s progress. PS101 will keep track of the day and the time your child exhibited an inappropriate behavior and received a consequence. PS101 will also record what type of inappropriate behavior your child displayed and what type of consequence he/she received. In addition, PS101 will keep track of the day and the time your child received a reward and what type of reward she/he received. All of this information will be extremely helpful in monitoring your child’s progress. If your child is receiving treatment, this recorded information will be extremely helpful to your child’s treating clinician. It will allow your child’s clinician to follow progress, monitor behavioral trends and make better decisions about when to dispense medication. This allows your child’s clinician to truly customize the treatment they are providing to your child. In short, PS101 will help your child’s treating clinician more effectively help your child.
