Introductory Evenings:
Calmer, Easier, Happier Parenting |
| |
|
| |
|
We hold two-hour introductory evenings, giving an overview of our
approach. During the introductory evenings
we explain our key skills and show how they
work in practice, using demonstrations and
plenty of examples.
The evening can be used as a taster or as a
refresher. If you have been to our classes
and would like your friends or other family
members to know more about what works for
you, please invite them! |

6-week Parenting Skills Courses |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
 |
These courses give you an opportunity to
learn our skills and
be supported in putting them into practice.
Each session concentrates on one particular
area of family life and explores in depth
one parenting skill. We allow time for
explanations, discussions and
demonstrations, often practising in small
groups. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
The atmosphere is friendly, supportive and
fun. You can choose to share your issues
with the group, although you do not have to
do so. No one is ever ‘put on the spot’.
Before you start, you will receive our book
“How To Be A Better Parent” and will
be asked to listen to one of the audio CDs
explaining the skills. You will be
encouraged to exchange CDs in our library
during the course – free of charge. Each
week, you will be given handouts summarising
the skills presented. Email support will be
available between sessions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the areas we address: |
|
 |
Positive discipline: Achieve
co-operation without resorting to shouting,
nagging and threatening (eg: homework,
mealtimes) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Emotional intelligence: Help your
children express their emotions
appropriately rather than behave
inappropriately |
|
|
|
|
|
Mornings and Evenings: Make it easier
for your children to get up, get organised
and leave home in the mornings calm and on
time. See how you can help them to go to
sleep without too much fuss at night |
|
|
|
|
|
Sibling squabbles: Help your children to
fight less and like each other more |
|
|
|
|
|
TV, computers, electronic games: Achieve
the right balance |
