Annex: ICS Skillful Parenting Program
ICS changes the lives of children living in poor rural areas by changing the parental skills of their caretakers. Following the recommendations of a UN study on violence against children (Pinheiro, P.S., The United Nations Study on Violence against Children, 2006, Geneva), ICS believes that parents need to feel the ‘Power to Parent’ to change the future of their children in a positive way. By working with them on how to be(come) a better parent, the Skillful Parenting Approach of ICS adds to prevent child abuse, neglect and family disintegration. Skillful Parenting is embedded in a larger Child Protection Program working to strengthen child protection systems on community and sub-national level. Through this program, ICS creates a safe environment where children can grow up to their best potential.

ICS devotes particular attention to prevention of gender-based violence in its Skillful Parenting program, especially intimate partner violence. Violence against women is a serious concern in Cambodia with rigid gender norms and gender inequality as main underlying causes (Gender and Development for Cambodia, 2010). ICS therefore promotes a healthy dialogue with both fathers and mothers on their roles, responsibilities and values within the family. By building positive partnerships and parenting practices parents become positive role models for their children and can break the intergenerational transmission of violence.

The behavior change model regarding Skillful Parenting is based upon a positive approach to parenting, and the support towards parents to be critical and aware about their parenting role. Furthermore, is builds upon the evidence based understanding that changes in parenting can be only achieved through a behavior change model. In the ICS model, both internal and external factors are being analyzed and discussed. In the skillful parenting interventions in peer groups, ICS starts to address positive parenting with issues around nine basic modules. Additionally, peer groups or outside experts on child rights and child wellbeing select topics for parenting issues like budgeting, basic social services for children like education, healthcare and child protection, future planning for children. ICS develops modules in cooperation with expert teams on the identified topics. The topics identified are used for awareness raising campaigns on parenting issues at community level. The module developed on the topic still starts with the understanding that change will only take place if parents are convinced of the need for change and of their capacity to change.

The ICS Skillful Parenting program is focused on the following basic elements of Parenting:
1. Being a parent
2. Roles and responsibilities
3. Time for me
4. Value
5. Positive discipline
6. Family communication
7. Peaceful family
8. Child protection
9. Family budgeting

In the implementation of Skillful Parenting, parent support groups are organized from existing groups, like savings groups. Parent groups usually consist of 20 members, who select 3 representatives to organize follow-through of parent peer groups with support of the facilitator. Each parent support group is organized following its specific possibilities and preferences. The facilitator will assist in getting expert information when the group identifies new topics.

ICS uses a twin-track approach for implementation of Skillful Parenting in Cambodia:
1. Support the government to work on Skillful Parenting in the communities
2. Implementation of Skillful Parenting in partnership with NGOs & CBOs
