PREPARE/ENRICH Parenting Inventory

The PREPARE/ENRICH Parenting Inventory guides couples through the many challenges of parenting and the joining of marital and parental dynamics, building relationship skills and raising awareness.

The Parenting Inventory provides parents with an insight into their parenting style, their couple relationship and family dynamics. It will assist parents to:

• explore strengths and areas of growth as partners and parents;
• resolve couple and parenting issues;
• identify and manage parenting stress;
• discuss differing parenting styles and how you can both work together as a team; and
• increase parenting confidence, support and satisfaction.

The Parenting Inventory is conducted over 1 session - 90 minute duration.
