The Institute for Humanistic Education and Parenting

Since 1949, The Institute for Humanistic Education and Parenting has helped families raise children with respect, genuine communication, concern for emotional development, mutual accountability rather than punishment, and the possibility of lifelong friendship between parent and child.

From The Institute's Mission Statement:

The Institute... implements community programs to promote peaceful conflict resolution, child-centered teaching and parenting, anti-bias education, communications skills, and problem-solving. We hold a shared commitment to peace, social justice, environmental health, and the empowerment of all people, especially children. We teach and encourage a global awareness and appreciation of the world's diversity. The goals are to develop, assist, support, [and] promote structures in all arenas of human life which are based on a respect for the dignity and worth of each human being, a belief in the capacity of humans for self-realization and self actualization, a respect for the earth that sustains us, and a belief in the possibility of peaceful living in the global community.
