There’s no such thing as a perfect parent, only a REAL one.

Fed up with saying:
"STOP THAT RIGHT NOW"
"NO, NO, and DEFINITELY NO"
"JUST STOP FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER"
"WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THAT?"
Being a parent can be one of the most enriching experiences, but it can also be heartache and sometimes a headache. We’re NOT all born with natural parenting skills, but we are all born with the ability to ADAPT.
This course takes a look at HOW, as parents, we might start adapting to the most common parenting challenges.
General Course Description
This ONLINE VIDEO & POWER POINT “Existential parenting” program is designed to offer you a space to learn different ways to connect past and THROUGH your child’s behaviour. It takes into account possible ways to re-engage with your child to DEVELOP a healthier connection.
It involves a ‘reflective’ space to explore your struggles and to understand what your child is possibly trying to communicate to you through his/her behaviour.
The course addresses:
Our RESPONSIVENESS and receptiveness to parenting situations
Our flaws, mistakes and vulnerabilities
Possible UNREALISTIC thinking about who we are as parents
Letting go of rationalising and misjudging
Moving towards ALTERNATIVE WAYS to parenting
Having a wealth of experience working therapeutically with children and supervising others who also work with children, I would like to share with you much knowledge to assist your parenting journey.
