INCAF - Transforming Misbehaving Children into Responsible Family Members Through
Parent Support
Who Is INCAF?
 The International
Network for Children and Families (INCAF) was formed by Kathryn
Kvols over twenty years ago.
Kathryn was working as a family counselor at the time. She started teaching parenting
classes organized around the techniques that she saw were working with misbehaving
children and which helped adults become the kind of parents they really wanted to
be, through parent support strategies. Parents applauded the results they saw in
their families and began to push Kathryn to write a book based on the principles
which she taught in her classes.

Out of parents' enthusiasm and Kathryn's own belief that parenting is the most important
job we will ever have, she wrote Redirecting
Children's Behavior to address misbehaving children, and created an accompanying
course. Both have continued to grow and
expand in use, with the book being revised and republished three times since 1979.
The program offers parent support through methods in which they become calmer and
more confident and empowered to raise their children to be responsible and cooperative.
The International Network for Children and Families has now certified over 1,000
parenting educators and the Redirecting Children's
Behavior course is currently taught in eleven countries. Parenting instructors
are carefully selected and go through rigorous training to learn the parent support
strategies and parenting solutions.

Many are teachers, health practitioners, professionals working with misbehaving
children, and moms and dads who care deeply about families. Kathryn's dream of supportive,
loving families has become an international effort and the network has been an inspiration
to many. It is up to each of us, whether we are parents or friends of parents, to
encourage and support children as they grow and learn, as they will be the adults
of tomorrow.
The International Network for Children and Families offers a variety of
parenting classes and teacher education.
It is headquartered in Gainesville, Florida.
