Parenting Wisely recognizes that we all learn differently and have diverse preferences and resources.  In order to satisfy all learning types, the programs are all available in a variety of media, each with its own benefits.   From interactive online programs and CD-ROMs to video (DVD and VHS programs), we offer the media that you prefer. All programs are currently available in English and Spanish language versions as well.

Interactive CD-ROM

Our most popular, most powerful media option, the interactive format of the CD-ROM requires parents to stay engaged and alert.  Parents learn at their own pace as they navigate through nine available scenarios, detailed tutorials, question and answer sessions, and reinforcing quizzes. 

Benefits

• Interactive format ensures maximum learning and skill retention.
• Insert the CD-Rom and the program runs itself (Set-up of the program takes as little as two minutes and requires no special skills).
• Parents can use the program unsupervised at their own speed (A narrated introduction explains how to navigate and successfully use the program).
• Buy one CD-ROM and use it for thousands of parents (Can only be used on one computer at a time, however).
• Ability to monitor and track progress.
• Allows social service agencies, schools, juvenile detention centers, and community organizations to run an affordable, effective parent education program.

Completion Time: Can be completed in as little as two to three hours.
