The teaching-family model is a way of helping children who are having a hard time in life. It's kind of like having a new family, but instead of parents, there are trained adults who help the children with everything they need.
The adults who work with the children in this model are called "teaching parents." They are specially trained to provide a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for the children. They teach the children how to do things like to take care of themselves, to be responsible, to make good choices, and to know their feelings.
In addition to helping children with their day-to-day needs, teaching-parents also use something called "behavioral programming." This means they create a plan specific to each child's needs, like what they need to work on or what positive habits they need to develop. By doing this, children learn new behaviors and habits and feel better about themselves.
The teaching-family model is a good way to help children who may not have had a good home life in the past. With the help of the teaching parents, children can learn important life skills, improve their behavior, and become successful adults.
