Activity and parenting guide for Humboldt County Family Connection Center

Humboldt County Child Welfare Services opens a case and gets involved with a family when the safety and well-being of a child is compromised. When a child is removed from the parents care due to abuse or neglect, one of the key factors in the chance for family reunification is appropriate and positive visitation. The reunification process is supervised at the Family Connection Center and parents might have difficulties with choosing creative activities to engage in with their child or difficulties knowing how to positively interact with their child during these activities. The tool I created for this project gives parents the opportunity to strengthen parenting skills and bypass the necessity for taking time to come up with creative ideas to interact. The activity book uses resources already available at the Family Resource Center and offers a list of activities for various age groups of children along with parenting tips that help to interact with the child during each activity.
