Welcome everyone! Introduce yourself and briefly share the purpose of today’s session: to equip parents with practical, research-backed strategies for fostering compliance. Encourage participation and questions throughout.

Walk through the agenda, noting time allocations. Emphasize interactive elements—worksheets, role-play, group discussion.

Read the objectives aloud and invite parents to share any additional personal goals for the session.

Ask parents: “What comes to mind when you hear ‘compliance’?” Capture key words on a flip chart. Then share definition.

Highlight that research shows consistent expectations and reinforcement reduce defiance by up to 40%. Emphasize long-term benefits: self-confidence and trust.

Transition: “Let’s look at our first strategy—setting clear expectations.”

Distribute the [Clear Expectations Planning Worksheet](#clear-expectations-planning-worksheet). Instruct parents to draft two clear instructions for their child’s next routine.

Introduce positive reinforcement: praise and rewards shape behavior through recognition of effort.

Provide the [Positive Reinforcement Examples Handout](#positive-reinforcement-examples-handout). Ask small groups to select meaningful reinforcers tailored to children’s interests.

Explain how routines reduce decision fatigue and clarify expectations.

Hand out the [Consistent Routines Template](#consistent-routines-template). Guide parents in sketching a simple morning or evening routine for their family.

Explain role-play logistics: small groups, rotate roles (parent, child, observer), use [Scenario Role-Play Cards](#scenario-role-play-cards).

Summarize core strategies and encourage parents to set implementation dates. Distribute the [Additional Parenting Resources List](#additional-parenting-resources-list). Open Q&A.

Thank parents for their engagement. Invite final questions and collect feedback forms.
