Frequently Asked Questions

I work with parents from a variety of places and they cannot always get to our facility, what options do I have?
In situations where parents are busy or live far away from an agency, we recommend our online accounts. When you purchase an Agency Subscription Pack, we give you full administrative access to the Parenting Wisely Program. You are able to see the time spent in each section, quiz scores, and dates of login for each user. Each account is active for 6 months once assigned to a parent. The course works on mobile devices, tablets and computers with high speed internet access.
What age groups are your programs appropriate for?
Our Young Child program is applicable to parents with children of ages 3-10.
Our Teen program serves parents with children ages 10-18.
How are other organizations using the program?
Most organizations choose to utilize the program as it was developed. That is, as a self-sustaining parent education program where parents use the program independently, at their own pace, and educators have the ability to track their progress without needing to be be present during the session. In fact, the anonymity of parents interacting with the online program erases almost all the negative stigma usually attached to parent education training!
