final project

Market research Comment by Microsoft Office User: You can start the market research section by discussing the social issue, the scope of the issue, the negative impact of the issue, existing organizations that address the issue, the gap in the existing services, and so on. Please cite studies that discussed these issues and causes.

An old saying says that giving birth toa child is not work; work brings the child to become a responsible person. Many parents may feel that they do not need any education and training for child upbringing, but it's vital both for the parent and for the children. Approximately more than one million families receive parenthood training every year, which helps get evidence-based training to become the best parents. The general age which is being concerned is from age 0-7 years old where the parents need to have very close attention to their child and from age 8- 16 (which its training will be incorporated on a later stage) when children are transforming to teenage and that bring challenges associated with parenthood (Mihelic & Morawska, 2018). Comment by Microsoft Office User: Explain more how this training works?

Becoming a parent can be illustrated as starting another version of life where life brings new experiences, new worries, and stress. The mother undergoes physical challenges, which is common, and one needs to understand what is normally happening to prepare, mentally, physically, and emotionally, for the child to be born. Every child is unique and offers a different experience that the new parents might not be expecting them. So, why is the TBP organization required? It offers the best education, training, and experience on first child development knowledge and care from pregnancy to childbirth and bringing the child when most vulnerable at a tender age. The organization creates knowledge on positive interactions with the child using evidence-based practice (Biehle & Mickelson, 2011).

TBP helps parents develop responsiveness and the needed sensitivity in nurturing a child and emotional communication required mostly at the tender age when a child may not know how to talk and help them understand different emotions on a child, as a child is growing, they need some disciplinary communication and also the management of behavior which helps identify their response to issues, hence understanding how to deal with behavioral issues pertained by the child is part of what the program helps parents to expect and learn how to react into becoming best parents. The introductory section outlined the upbringing of a child with the desired traits; TBP helps develop pro-social behavior and cognitive skills that help a child have academic and language literacy and school readiness. All the outlined elements show the factors that quantify for a unique program that provides new parents with an all-around skill in the big job that awaits them (Kate, 2011).

Mission statement

The organizational vision is to help all parents raise their children with the qualities they ever wanted.

The mission statement is to create a local and global environment where parents get evidence-based skills, practices, tools, and resources to help create a safe environment for children at the age of 0-7 and mold them to the best traits and qualities always wanted their children to have. Parents to be and new parents are welcome to the organization as they look forwards to a time when all their children will say, 'you are the best parents ever.'

The aims that can be deduced from the mission statement are helping parents rely on evidence-based skills to overcome nurturing children's challenges to acquire the needed traits. The main four components outlined are;

1. Creating a local and global environment for parents Comment by Microsoft Office User: What does this mean? Local and Global?

2. Creating a safe environment for children

3. Evidence-based skills and practices

4. Nurturing children traits

The first two components focus on creating an environment for both parents and children to embrace their children's uniqueness and work at facing the challenges associated with the transition to welcoming another member in the family. The second two components present the organization's uniqueness in helping new parents first get and sue evidence-based skills and practices and nurture their children's traits to the desired outcome.

Competition

The organization faces lots of competition from many parenting non-profit organizations within the United States; the largest competitors will be CAPA/PREPARES, which is a catholic based parenting organization, and the other organization will be Parenting Now, which is already fully developed and offering parenting social services at a greater range in most cases near the establishment of our organization. However, despite its growth already to having 35 employees, TBP organization is unique because it offers a different form of experience to new parents by using evidence-based practices and skills in helping parents to instill in their children the traits and qualities that they have always wished for their children which will have an advantage. After all, the organization is not religion-based. People of all walks of life are welcome. Comment by Microsoft Office User: Explain more this point and how it’s different

Program designs

The program design is set to benefit parents all across the United States through different types of programs available for parents with different time schedules and even those willing to take a different type of study. COVID-19 has replaced most physical face-to-face needs. Now, many people can communicate remotely using video conferencing media and hold their sessions. The program will cover mostly online interaction through video conferencing for people in different parts of the country, which will even read the global market as part of the organizational missions. Those who will manage physical attendance will join the program in real-time with those on an online platform. Everyone will be part of the bigger organization that helps parents. The organization feels convinced that it can create an environment where parents of all walks of life can apply evidence-based research in child upbringing while still incorporating cultural diversity and bring out the best outcomes. The programs will include: Comment by Microsoft Office User: Will you start in specific state then spread? If yes where and why Comment by Microsoft Office User: Who are they? Who will provide the program? Are they a social workers for example? Or something else And how many?

Educational curriculum

The program will offer the basic knowledge on the primary elements which apply to aspects like pregnancy, childbirth, and child development in tender ages when the traits which had earlier been indicated such as child development knowledge and care will be included. Primary elements like feeding the baby, bathing, diapers, and home safety include music, lighting, and behavior in the child's development cycle. The same program will include positive interactions with the child, including mastering the child's interest and demonstrating enthusiasm for caring for the child. Soothing a child and being responsive, sensitive, and nurturing to the child needs to be taken care of by psychological needs (Bäckström et al., 2020).

Modeling and role-playing

This is part of the program that reinforces the curriculum and takes the bigger part in the program because either way, what the new parents need is tangible skills to help them deal with each situation. In the aspect where most of the actions will occur online through video conferencing, most parents will be required to have for the exercise. A live presentation will be shown in washing the baby, or even a recorded demonstration, and all the other members in the group will follow through in practice (David, 2020).

Homework

Homework which includes either verbal or written assignments will be given on the most important part when studying the interest presented by the baby, and that creates the uniqueness needed by each parent when handling their children to assert the best qualities and attributes and also help practice the skills with their own children which are close to role-playing but actually it is part of nurturing both parents one the desired output. Most specifically, parents spend the most time with the baby; hence, most of the practical skills will be shown to them. However, fathers too spend time with the child even if they have house help because they need to bestow the needed attributes on their children, create the fatherly bond, and help them grow in a family where they feel loved and valued (Kaur, 2020).

Ancillary services

The services program happens on a special case that needs supplementary content that is generally available for everyone. The program will now cover children with special needs and how parents can handle the pressure in dealing with a child with special needs when they don't talk and only communicate using emotional signs. The skills taught in this session include emotional communication skills, positive interactions with their children, and even active participation with their children in various available sessions (Brotherson, 2016). 

The organizational planning team will oversee that the team has all the required pool of expertise in the field to help reach the desired outcomes and commit to philanthropic measures that see to it that all the issues and concerns held by parents are dealt with utmost seriousness and that the most vital and adequate skills and practices are fully understood and practiced.

Funding strategy Comment by Microsoft Office User: you need to provide examples of specific corporate sponsors you will go after.

The funding strategy is one of the most important aspects that will make the organization thrive. It is a non-profit organization that welcomes all parents and new parents to prepare by utilizing evidence-based methods in effectuating the program. The funding strategy will ensure that the organization got all the needed equipment, tools, and strategy to hold people's capacity and provide the needed guidance. Thus, office space and training room are mandatory, equipment and staff to help in the process. While using evidence-based practice, the organization may need people who have a background in parenting-based research to implement most of the theories based on a different context. In that light, the need for many volunteers and internship students will be utilized upon with the expertise already available.

The organization will rely primarily on contributions and donations from many parties to meet the required expenses. That means all the organization members do not require any fee to get enrolled. Still, they are welcome to make donations and contributions to the organization, private and confidential, without restriction or even publicization. The contribution will be granted in different formats because not everyone can be willing to use cash, but through bank accounts, the ability to write cheques and even donate material wealth in support of the organization. Volunteers will also be welcome to the organization with all expertise applicable in the organization.

The organization will primarily rely on corporate sponsorship that makes the bigger parts of the business's sustainability, which is part of the strategy in attracting consumers through charitable organizations' contribution. The effect has been seen mostly on museums where they even participate in leadership that oversees the running of the organization. The same strategy will be used to attract more philanthropists to the organization and help reach many people and families that need to give their children the best of their effort (Aguinis & Glavas, 2019).

The organization is a non-profit organization that will also rely on grants from local, state, and federal government to apply for different grant opportunities offered by governments to charity groups to help attain the needed services to keep it on the move. However, such grants may not be frequent, which can rely on very damaging to the organization's effectiveness.

The grand opening and launching of any project or organization determine its success and outcomes. A thorough campaign will ensure that all the people in the United States are aware of The Best Parents Organizations, which will also prompt many philanthropists, a fundraising ceremony, and a grand opening. The campaign will be done through the organizational social media pages, website, and advertisement through TV and radio stations.

Conclusion

Non-profit organizations are vital in developing the community's social and economic welfare and contribute greatly to offering sustainability and educational programs to everyone interested in the community. Parenting, on the other side, has proven to be not a walk in the part because people need to be prepared for the changing life experience, expectations and the times which we are in where the old model of child upbringing is out fashioned and the need to have an evidence-based approach to child upbringing and development can make parents instill and develop qualities and traits in helping their children at all cost even those with special needs without any barriers. Children's development can be challenging, but if the parents can know exactly what to do at the right time without any cost involved, families can have the best relations. Every parent can be glad to hear their children say that they were raised by the best parents ever. The dream of TBP is to see people of all walks of life utilizing the benefit of an evidence-based child upbringing.
