Strong families

2-10 Years or 10-14 Years

These courses are to assist parents to improve their parenting skills and build positive relationships with their children. The course develops strategies for parents to encourage desirable behaviour and use planned activities routines to manage misbehaviour.

We cover

• how to find alternatives to shouting, nagging and feeling out of control
• how to praise and ignore unwanted behaviour effectively
• how to set and maintain limits for behaviours including bedtime problems, fussy eating, aggression, tantrums & homework battles
• what is underneath children’s behaviour
• an adaptable plan for thinking about and managing new parenting challenges as they arise
• resilient parenting
