Strengthen Your Family
Parenting Children Course
Author Dr Brené Brown writes:
"Wholehearted parenting is not having it all figured out and passing it down - it's learning and exploring together."
Parenting can have challenging moments…
We run parenting courses so that we can learn and explore these challenging moments together.
Family life is under great pressure today and parents face bewildering choices about how to parent effectively. Discovering we are not alone in the challenges we face and picking up ideas from other parents, can make a huge difference. We can all learn how to make even the happiest family better.
Why do a Parenting Course?
• Children do not arrive with an instruction manual
• No role we undertake is more important than parenting
Who is the Course for?
Parents, step-parents, prospective parents or carers of children aged 0–10 years. While the course is based on Christian principles, it is designed for parents with or without a Christian faith.
Are you…
