Courses for Parents

Parenting is one of the most important jobs in the world – and we feel that it has to be done perfectly.  And it can be – doing it perfectly doesn’t mean getting everything right, but rather doing what is right for you and your child.

Parents are the people who have the most influence on their children – with greater confidence and self-belief you can be the parent you and your child want you to be.

Working with other parents allows you to recognise that we all have problems and that  you are doing the best you can with the knowledge you have.
But if you want to change, there is a way that is effective and a model that will help you get what you want in your life.

There are 2 courses for parents to choose from:

1. Coaching your Children for Life
2. The Secret Language of Children

Coaching your children for life!    
This 6 week, introductory course on “Positive Parenting”, enables you to understand the principles of coaching and how it can help your child learn life skills. A coach is someone who helps others reach their potential by helping them to become self aware, develop a sense of responsibility for their actions, build  a positive self image, change behaviours that are not useful to them, overcome problems that hold them back, work out what they want and help them get there. These objectives are what every parent aspires to, is it any wonder we as parents end up feeling stressed, under pressure to get it all right, and given the lack of parent courses to date it is a miracle our children are as great as they are!  

Learn how to teach your child:  

• Emotional literacy
• Positive self image
• To work out what they want and achieve it
• To understand the effect they have on others

While you focus on learning:  

• New communication skills
• Name and re-define your family values
• The art of questioning
• The difference between hearing and listening
• Recognise your strengths as a parent

Through this we set about creating an environment which creates greater confidence as a parent, increases self esteem and strengthens the family bond!
Maximum of 8 people in a group. 

The Secret Language of Children
Children’s natural language is that of play.  This 6 week course demonstrates how play promotes self-confidence, the ability to communicate emotions and the desire to understand the emotions of others.  Studies have shown that this type of play not only helps children with their present problems but can actually prevent problems from occurring in the future.  

Special Play is where adults create a world of unconditional positive regard for the children.  It is a world where children receive support and acceptance from adults no matter what they do. It is a world where there are no wrong feelings or bad thoughts so anything is possible.  When parents enter this world they learn to listen to their children’s needs and concerns in an entirely new way.  When children experience their parents entering this world they are often able to approach their problems and try out new solutions which were never possible before.
