How does the Village change behaviors?
Using a proven and trusted methodology called the Teaching-Family Model, children are systematically reinforced for positive behaviors and receive humane consequences for negative behaviors. The Village parents who care for these children build family-like relationships with the children, teaching them how a normal, loving family operates. A family-like structure, with the parents in control, is most effective in shaping a child’s behavior. We succeed with difficult children because we create a family environment in which the child can learn essential social skills such as trust, respect, and empathy.
