We know how important your children are to their parents. We have been helping parents give their children the gift of a happy childhood and a bright future since The Parent Practice was established in London in 2004
Parenting classes are a great way to effectively and quickly learn an invaluable set of parenting skills that will set you up to be the best parent you can be. Attending a parenting class is not an indication of being a 'bad' parent it is testimony to a parent's commitment to their children and their role as a parent.
Elizabeth Hartley-Brewer, Talking to Tweenies
The skills we teach you can be applied to suit any family and children's different personalities, ages and stages, giving mums and dads a united front from which to work and making your life as a parent both easier and more fulfilling. Our team have supported and empowered thousands of parents and carers, drawing on the latest thinking in psychology, our skills, training and vast experience working with families with children of all ages from toddlers to teens.
There is no such thing as a perfect parent, but with the right tool-kit parents can make family life the happy, nurturing and supportive environment they want. We only have one opportunity to raise our children...why not give it our best shot.

"No one will have as much effect on us, or be affected as much by us, as the children we raise."

Watch Hardeep Singh attending a parenting class with Melissa a few years ago. It is about 3 mins long and quite fun (he is a comedian) and was filmed as part of a TV series Hardeep did called 'Hardeep does Families' on Channel 4. Hardeep has some interesting insights at the end!
Melissa Hood, our Head of Design and Training, is now a Gottman Certified Educator, the first in the UK, and is qualified to lead the Bringing Baby Home Workshops created by the Relationship Research Institute founded by Dr John Gottman. The Bringing Baby Home program helps parents deal with the transition to parenthood and create strong and happy families from the outset.
