The latest edition of our best-selling program is here! Active Parenting Now has been transformed to Active Parenting 4th Edition (AP4), for parents of children ages 5-12. The revised edition includes all-new video, more convenient parent’s guides, and a new emphasis on hot topics. It’s an evidence- based program that is proven to help parents in their most important job.

We’ve also provided an optional 30-minute addition to each session, called “AP and You,” that helps parents apply their new skills at work and at home.
