In-Home Parenting Services:
In home parenting services are services designed to increase a parent's ability to provide the structure and discipline a child needs to grow up to become a healthy, self sufficient adult. Many of the parents involved in the child protection system grew up in households that lacked structure or effective discipline. As a result, they are ill-equipped to provide the structure and discipline their children need. In addition, many lack the basic skills needed to manage a household effectively. These basic skills include the housekeeping skills necessary to maintain a clean, safe environment, budgeting and other home management skills, structuring the day to provide meals and bedtime at consistent
times, and keeping appointments.
