- Series Description
- "These two episodes represent this entry, PARENT EFFECTIVENESS, a series of 13 half-hour dramatized programs demonstrating an alternative approach to traditional modes of parenting. "The series, based on an internationally recognized method for raising responsible children and enhancing parent/child relationships, focuses on a hypothetical parenting course led by an empathetic instructor and attended by nine fictional parents. All participants are portrayed by actors, and each program is entirely scripted. "The classroom situations are interwoven with scenes from the lives of six fictional families. These flash-backs and flash-forwards illustrate the families' parenting styles prior to the class and their successes and failures using the new skills. "Filmed on location, the dramatized vignettes portray problems and conflicts familiar to many families. In the class the instructor frequently uses role-playing with his students to convey a particular skill or concept. The classroom material is reinforced by the use of animated graphics. "Dr. Thomas Gordon, psychologist and author of P.E.T. and P.E.T. in Action, acted as consultant to the series and appeared in 'Postscripts' at the conclusion of Episodes 6 and 13. "PARENT EFFECTIVENESS essentially presents four skills: I-Messages -- how parents can talk so children will listen; Active Listening Feedback -- how parents can listen so children will talk; No-Lose Problem-Solving -- how parents and children can negotiate in conflict situations and arrive at solutions that are mutually acceptable; and Values Consulting -- how parents can convey their values to children in the most productive manner. "The first program is an introduction to the characters and an overview of the philosophy and skills that will be presented in the series. Episodes 2-13 are divided into three rounds, each consisting of four programs. Each round focuses on the experiences of two families and considers, in consecutive programs, the four parenting skills. The repetition of the four primary tools in PARENT EFFECTIVENESS allows the audience several exposures to these skills, easing viewers into comprehension and familiarity."--1977 Peabody Awards entry form.
