Courses

Parenting is not a natural ability all of us are born with. It is a learning process that takes time, patience and the development of skills.

REASSURING

I just wanted to thank you for today and my first sight into the Parent Practice. I have come away feeling really positive. You made me feel that I have the fundamentals right and that so far, what I have done isn't 'wrong', but there are areas that I can work on to make life better!

INSPIRATIONAL

I found the 10 week parenting classes to be honestly superb. It has given us really tangible tools that I feel really happy about working with. The content, quality and pace of the course has been just right and we both feel enormously grateful to you for opening our eyes to these powerful tools.

TRANSFORMATIONAL

The one thing that surprised me most about the course was not the impact that it had on my kids but more the impact that it had on me! I was constantly challenged as a parent week after week and as a result it has transformed my life and the lives of my family.

Lana, Mum of 2

CALMER

I am finding the topics challenging, and thought provoking, but very worthwhile. I am starting to feel calmer and more in control - I don't feel I have to be so bossy/shouty all the time and the boys are responding well to being asked their opinion and helping find solutions.

Jo, Mum of 3

CONFIDENT

I had such a great time on the course. I learned loads, got great ideas, calmed down and now feel so much more confident. This isn’t about being perfect but about taking positive steps to real improvement.

FUN

We hosted a course given by The Parent Practice. We were surprised how quickly our friends signed up for it. We had such fun and learnt so much, I highly recommend it.
