SEER ENe PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, September 25, 1990 -- 37_ ERE i 9 Effective parenting key to child abuse prevention "Parenting can Be Learned" is the banner message for this year's Child Abuse Prevention Month Campaign, declared by the Independent Order of Foresters (IOF) for the month of October. Citing the need to respond to the growing incidence of child abuse in Canada by educating and rais- ing awareness levels of the general public, the IOF is spon- soring a series of effective paren- ting workshops in October, in 11 key cities across the country to promote the parenting theme. "It is extremely important that, as a community, we understand and recognize the extensive nature of this widespread pro- blem so that we can protect our children" says Rosemary Jones, associate public relations director for the IOF. Hosted by Dr. Arnold Rincover, a well-known child behavioral psychologist, the workshops will offer parents practical techniques for coping with the pressure of raising children. Topics such as disciplining, stress reduction and anger will be covered. The IOF, which has been in- volved in the prevention of child abuse for more than 15 years, has gained support for its campaign from a variety of child and health care professionals across the country as well as numerous federal and provincial govern- ment agencies. According to Rix Rogers, leading federal government ad- visor on child sexual abuse, changing attitudes and behaviour is of paramount importance to the prevention of child abuse. 'Public awareness programs such as the IOF's Child Abuse Prevention Month and etfective parenting workshops are key in- itiatives designed to help improve the lives of children by reaching parents," says Rogers. The IOF has also developed a community guide resource book which is available to the public to help interested individuals organize their own child abuse prevention events. This booklet provides an introduction to the na- tional campaign, as well as ideas for activities and other key information. For those parents who would like additional information con- cerning parenting and the preven- tion of child abuse, the IOF has booklets, films, videos and pam- phlets available at cost or free of charge. These materials can be ordered by contacting the I0F's toll free number: 1-800-268-6267.
