The Inspire Ring Parenting (for children aged around 10 and above) consists of 40 paired descriptions that profile a parent's Parenting Style. It invites the children to select the descriptions that best describe their parent. The Ring helps children make sense of the parent's attitude to and relationships with them. The Inspire Ring Parenting gives immediate feedback to the parent in the form of a personal chart, allowing a structured and focused discussion of the parent's strengths and issues.
It gives four bits of information:
- overall inspiration score from 0 to 100%
- the balance between support and challenge e.g. 60% to 40%
- a % score for each of the parenting styles
- your specific strengths and issues
Instructions
Have a look at each pair of descriptions. Select the one that best DESCRIBES YOUR PARENT to highlight green. If both descriptions describe them, select both. If neither statements describe them, select until they fade.
