Child Development and Effective Parenting
Advanced Study Major
The Child Development and Effective Parenting Major is based upon behavioural principles which when applied are highly effective in bringing about positive and healthy behaviours for both the parent and the child.
Parents perform one of society's most important functions - they raise the next generation. Unfortunately, however, we are rarely taught the skills required for effective parenting. The Child Development and Effective Parenting Major is based upon behavioural principles which when applied are highly effective in bringing about positive and healthy behaviours for both the parent and the child. The program includes an easy to follow, step-by-step approach to effective parenting which can be readily applied or taught to parents by the counsellor.
Topics covered in this Advanced Study Major include:
What behaviours to expect from children at different stages and ages
Effective methods for communicating with children
Resolving conflict between parents and children
Helping children to understand and deal with their feelings
Anger management in children
The role of self
And more
Total Cost: $795
To enrol in an Advanced Study Major, you must be a current student, or alumni of, the Diploma of Counselling. This is because ASM’s are comprehensive specialist programs, they pre-suppose a foundational knowledge of counselling and mental health.
*Please note that whilst the Advanced Study Majors are highly relevant to specialty areas in counselling practise, by nature they do not form a part of the accredited curriculum.

Why study an Advanced Study Major
Advanced Study Majors (ASMs) are advanced learning programs in topical areas of mental health practice. They can be undertaken in addition to our Diploma of Counselling. There is no limit on the number of Advanced Study Majors you can undertake.
Specialist programs
ASMs are deep dives into contemporary areas of practice. Each ASM is approximately 60 to 80-hours of learning. They provide you with a higher level of practical and theoretical knowledge in a specialised field of counselling*.
Flexible learning
ASMs can be studied entirely online. Learning material, including comprehensive workbook and lecture videos, is accessible from your student learning portal (My.AIPC). Assessments are online by multiple-choice. ASMs are supported by our academic team via all usual methods.
Enrol anytime
You can enrol in an ASM at the time you enrol into the Diploma of Counselling, or at any subsequent time. The advantage of early enrolment in an ASM is that studies can be completed concurrently with your Diploma.
