The Parenting Skills Training consists of sessions during which we address issues that are often a source of tension in our relationship with our child. We discuss boundaries, emotions, communication and the difficulties that arise at various stages of development.

This isn’t a course on how to be the ‘perfect parent’, but a space to examine your own reactions and find approaches that will work for your family. Participants work through real-life situations from everyday life, making it easier to apply this new approach at home.

The workshops help parents to cope better with their child’s challenging behaviour, strengthen their relationship and create a more predictable, calm parenting environment.

The programme is used both by parents who are seeking support on their own initiative and by those who come to us on the recommendation of specialists or their child’s school.

  1. Challenging behaviour and ways of coping.
  2. Goals, motivations and values – an introduction to key aspects of upbringing
  3. Rewards, punishments and ‘natural’ consequences
  4. Care and overprotectiveness – shifting balances and fine lines
  5. Effective communication
  6. Boundaries and refusal out of love

Our parenting course offers a range of benefits for parents and their children:

  • How should you talk to your child? What should you do if your child doesn’t listen? – Improving effective communication skills,
  • Building a stronger emotional bond,
  • Developing techniques for coping with difficult situations,
  • A child’s emotional development – Learning effective strategies for managing emotional crises and conflicts,
  • Acquiring tools to support a child’s emotional and social development,
  • How can you help a child build self-confidence?
  • Boosting your confidence as a parent,
  • How to raise a happy child – Understanding a child’s developmental needs,
  • Working together with other parents and sharing experiences,
  • Developing empathy – a better understanding of a child’s emotions,
  • Learning about stress management strategies in difficult situations,
  • Working on the ability to adapt educational methods to the individual needs of the child.
Parenting Skills Training is a group programme for parents, led by a specialist who works with children and families on a daily basis. We work in a small group, using specific situations from the participants’ own lives. During the workshops, we focus on what is most often challenging: setting boundaries, responding to a child’s emotions, communication and tensions in the relationship. We draw on approaches based on contemporary psychological research, but translate them into practical solutions that can be applied at home.
To make sense of the aspects of parenting that can be unclear and overwhelming. Rather than looking for ‘one right way’, we help you choose an approach tailored to your specific child and situation. It’s not just about dealing with challenging behaviour, but about building a relationship that brings more peace of mind and predictability to everyday life.
For parents and carers of children of all ages, from the very youngest to teenagers. Each stage of development brings different challenges and often requires a change in approach. This is a form of support for those who wish to understand their child better, respond more thoughtfully and feel they have greater influence in everyday parenting situations.
When you feel that the methods you’ve used so far are no longer working When you find it difficult to react calmly in challenging situations When you’re feeling a lot of tension, frustration or tiredness But also when you simply want to organise your knowledge and approach to parenting – before the difficulties get any worse.
