DISCUSSION QUESTIONS- According to child behavior experts, one in three people abused as a child will also use physical force on her or his own children.
This edition of Primetime spotlights three primary caregivers of one or more young children-a 63-year-old grandmother, a 36-year-old mother, and a 29-year-old father-who are hoping to beat those odds by taking part in a mentoring program for at-risk caregivers called Parent Aide. The people in this video are filmed at their worst-and also at their best as they begin to apply the new behavior-modification techniques to the children’s actions as well as their own. Reflect on your overall thoughts on the video. What were your thoughts about the 63-year-old grandmother, the 36-year-old mother, and the 29-year-old father? Did you feel differently toward any one of them? Why or why not? What factors do you think contributed to the caregivers behavior?
