Introducing the NEPEM Parenting Model

I am so excited to introduce you to the National Extension Parenting Education Model (NEPEM)

Where did the model come from?

"The National Extension Parent Education Model was published in 1994 through the efforts of Ron Daly, the National Program Leader for Human Development in the Washington DC office of the Cooperative Extension Service. The authors of the report were Dot Cudaback (California), H. Wallace Goddard (Alabama), Judy Myers-Walls (Indiana), and Charles A. Smith (Kansas). Although these state specialists were responsible for writing the report, the ideas evolved through a process of revision involving all state specialists in human development and county extension agents with an interest in parenting."

Why is the NEPEM Model an excellent choice to follow?

The authors of this model wanted something for American families that would work with all cultures. I believe that it is something that each parent can find useful!
