Parent Implementation Program
The Parent Implementation Program (PIP) is designed to support children with behavior challenges and provide their caregivers with effective and positive parenting strategies. If you are experiencing significant behavioral difficulties with your child and want to learn new strategies to address the behavior, PIP is here to help. Children should be between three to five years old. PIP includes parent training sessions and opportunities to practice new skills learned within a safe and professional setting. Our staff includes experienced parents who have been through the program with their children and understand what they are going through.
PIP was established in the Chula Vista Elementary School District in 1978 and started out as a school readiness program. Currently, it provides services to families in the district, using evidence-based practices from a Social-Emotional Learning perspective. PIP is unique because it focuses on the parent/guardian and empowers families to maximize positive, developmentally appropriate behavior in children experiencing mild to severe behavioral challenges. This early intervention program teaches parents to utilize research-backed, evidence-based strategies with proven outcomes for participants, including a significant decrease in aggression and antisocial behavior throughout adolescence and higher high school and college graduation rates. With all the ups and downs that may present throughout the journey as a parent, PIP is here to help with its primary focus of breaking old behavior patterns, resulting in a more positive family dynamic.
