PARENTS’ ROLE IN CO-PROMOTION OF THE EARLY PARENTHOOD PREVENTION SCHOOL PROGRAM

Summary/Abstract: In the years 2004–2005, an early parenthood prevention program was developed and implemented in Poland. It was based on an American teaching aid – an electronic baby simulator. The article is devoted to the presentation of the special role of parents in this program. The paper presents the project assumptions and methods of implementation which led to parents becoming real co-promoters of the program proposed by the school. The article also presents the outcome of the research carried out during the evaluation process, which confirm both the efficiency of the entire program and the advisability of such solution in which parents carry out important tasks in close cooperation with teachers. This not only reinforces the opportunity to achieve the basic educational goal, which in this case means taking more responsibility for adolescents becoming sexually active, but is also conducive to conversations in students’ homes about the family, childhood, parenthood and future plans in this regard.
