Be My Best is a teaching and support program for families experiencing difficulties managing the behaviour of their children aged 2.5 to 7 years old without NDIS funding. The program is based on positive parenting research that shows that a child’s difficult behaviour can often be altered by changing the way parents/carers respond to their child.
The program consists of five stages that families move through at their own pace and according to their own needs.
- Parent support – Parents/carers meet with a qualified Noah’s team member to discuss their child’s behaviour and their areas of concern. Families are given strategies to trial at home.
- Observation – Children and their parents/carers are observed interacting with each other for up to six sessions. Noah’s staff work with them to determine what might be causing behaviour issues and how best to manage them.
- Skill-building – Parents/carers identify which strategies might work best for them with the Noah’s team and commit to practicing these new parenting skills with supervision over two or three sessions per week.
- Intensive support – Parents/carers practice putting together new skills with their child in a one-on-one setting with the Noah’s team on-hand for support.
- Taking it to the real world – Parent/carers are supported through one-on-one coaching sessions (without their child present) to successfully transfer all their new parenting skills to their home.
The Be My Best Program is funded by NSW Department of Communities and Justice through the Targeted Earlier Intervention Program.
