Encouraged Parents, Encouraged Kids
Parenting can be tough. But you don’t have to go it alone.
Encouraged Parents, Encouraged Kids is brought to you by the Parent Encouragement Program (PEP), a nonprofit, positive parenting education organization that has provided valuable support to thousands of parents, teachers, grandparents and other caregivers since 1982.
PEP’s programs are based on research-tested best practices for positive parenting education and support. We offer some of this same information so that you can feel supported and encouraged anytime, anywhere, to get you through the tough times of parenting kids in today’s especially challenging world. We hope you’ll join us so that we can learn, laugh and sometimes even cry together as we join hands virtually to raise the next generation of young adults.
