On Track Early Family (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798996071449)

Your youth has a program working with them. What they do not have anywhere else is a parent or guardian who shows up consistently, holds the standard firmly, and loves them enough to let consequences do their work.

That is your role. No program can replace it.

When home expectations conflict with program expectations, youth receive mixed signals about what the standard actually is. On Track Early: Family gives parents and guardians a practical daily system for reinforcing the same expectations their youth faces in the program - at home, consistently, every day.

What is inside:

• The FIRM Framework for guardian responses to high-risk situations
• Daily and weekly accountability trackers for home consistency
• Expectation alignment worksheet to sync home and program standards
• Communication guides for difficult conversations
• Support vs. enabling self-check so you know the difference
• Real-situation response tools for the moments most guardians handle wrong
• Monthly review system to measure progress and reset when needed

Built on the Risk-Need-Responsivity framework and Core Correctional Practices by professionals who have navigated the juvenile justice system from both sides of the table.
