Parenting is the most important and challenging job we will ever have.

Would you like life at home to be calmer and happier?

Would you like to feel more in control, fulfilled and less stressed?

Do you want tips on positive discipline that works?

Do you want to enable your child to fulfil their potential?

Do you want to give your child skills that will set them up for life?

Here are a few tips to get you started.

The 10 week Positive Parenting Course gives parents the skills to enable all of the above and more.  We also offer a 5 Session Positive Parenting Core Skills Course which covers sessions 1 to 5 of the full course.

I am a certified Parent Practice educator licensed to use The Parent Practice materials and methodology and to deliver The Parent Practice 10 week positive parenting course.

The course take place with groups sizes typically between 6 and 12 in a non-judgemental, open environment. Each session lasts 2 hours and is a structured, practical workshop covering specific skills with a chance for parents to discuss their situation/issues and apply the skills directly to their individual circumstances.  Parents receive a very detailed course manual to share with other people caring for their child and specific tasks to try at home and feedback on each week.

Some parents who attend have quite specific problems/issues they need to address.  Others just come along because they want to know how to develop their parenting skills and get the best out of their children.  The group setting makes the course very engaging and parents learn a lot through sharing and hearing about the experience of others (many report this is the greatest benefit).  This gives support, reassurance and ‘normalises’ some common place issues that other parents also feel.
