This coalition was composed of individuals and organizations that advocated, celebrated and promoted

effective parenting and parenting education. The goal of this national organization, which consisted of

three complementary membership programs for Parents, Professionals and Organizations, was to help

create the conditions in the United States where it could become the birthright of every child to be raised

by loving and skillful parents who receive the best possible parenting education and support. Its activities

included (1) an online Effective Parenting Petition in support of making effective parenting and parenting

education national priorities, (2) the design and advocacy of a federal government-led effective parenting

initiative which Dr. Alvy wrote, (3) a December 2006 White House Briefing in Washington D.C.to present

the initiative to members of the Bush administration, (4) a Board of Advisors that consisted of top

parenting and parenting education authorities, (5) the bringing together of more than 30 national and local

parenting institutions as Organizational Affiliates, and (6) the creation of a model for community-led

effective parenting initiatives or projects which contains many of the elements of the earlier government-

led initiative that Dr. Alvy designed.

Founder and Director, Uniting Los Angeles for Effective Parenting Project, North Hollywood, California, January 2008 – December 2010.

This community-led effective parenting initiative, which Dr. Alvy designed and which was organized by

about what constitutes effective parenting in the 21st century and the role of parenting education in being an

effective contemporary parent, (2) building the capacity of local institutions to provide the full spectrum

of modern parenting and family skill-building services and programs, (3) a centralized telephone and

Internet information, referral and enrollment services, (4) community wide effective parenting expositions,

and (5) an effective parenting council to coordinate and provide quality control. The Project Partners

included county and city elected officials (county supervisors, city council members, mayors, etc.),

community-based organizations, federated funding groups, schools and school districts, foundations and

corporations, and related family and child businesses.
