Parental work as support for education represents one of the central areas of practice for social educators. The main issue addressed in this practical guide is: How can one reach a clientele that is often perceived as difficult and structured simply, and how can a sustainable change in parenting behavior be achieved? The book first conveys the essential foundational attitudes necessary for successful parental work. Building on this, it then discusses the necessary methods and techniques for the targeted improvement of parents' educational competencies in the family's daily life. The book operates with scientifically based concepts and integrates elements from conversation psychotherapy, behavioral therapy, communication theory, and conflict resolution, making them usable for practical work with parents, while also referring to the Rendsburg Parent Training developed by the author.
