The True Insight Parenting Strategies (TIPS) approach goes beyond the basics of parenting in order to gain a deeper level of insight into how parents relate to their children. The classes investigate how parents’ personal history and relationships shape many thoughts, beliefs, and responses to their children often without even realizing it. When parents take a good look at patterns of attachment it helps improve awareness and creates more secure attachment patterns for children. Another part of insightful parenting involves learning the science behind how our brains and bodies respond to stress, known as interpersonal neurobiology. Parents will learn skills and strategies to help improve their own emotional awareness and self-regulation. Parents will then learn to transfer many of these ideas about attachment and healthy brain functioning to their children. Parents will learn insights into how brain growth and neuromaturation impacts child development throughout childhood and into the teen years. Brain-based and attachment-focused interventions are then explored including the research-tested models of collaborative proactive solutions, filial play therapy, and trust-based relational interventions.
