About this event

Bringing Up Great Kids is a fun parenting course that focuses on how parents can better communicate to meet the emotional and developmental needs of their children. It offers opportunities for parents to discover the origins of their own parenting style and how it can be more effective. The course helpfully looks at how to overcome some of the obstacles that are getting in the way of being the kind of parent you would like to be and to determine what messages you want to pass on to your children. Bringing Up Great Kids is hand’s on, interactive and guilt-free! The focus is not on acquiring skills to improve children’s behaviour but offers a supportive environment for personal insights and forging a new pathway ahead.

With Brining Up Great Kids you have the opportunity to "Parent as you would like to parent, not simply parent as you were parented."
