Term 4 Webinar
Parental Guidance: Positive Solutions for Every Family
WEDNESDAY 28 OCTOBER 2026 | 7pm AEST // 8pm AEDT
We’ve thankfully moved beyond the era of authoritarian parenting, where fear and obedience were the primary tools of discipline. But in the wake of this shift, many parents find themselves adrift in a sea of uncertainty. If not strict control and punishment, then what? How do we guide our children effectively while fostering their independence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing? This is the question at the heart of modern parenting.
Join renowned parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson for Parental Guidance, a refreshing presentation that will challenge conventional parenting wisdom and equip you with effective, science-backed strategies.
This presentation will empower you to move beyond outdated parenting paradigms and embrace a fresh perspective on child development. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of your child’s needs and learn how to create an environment that supports their growth, fostering a more positive family dynamic. Don’t miss this opportunity to revolutionise your parenting approach and create a thriving family life!
Details to register at no charge for this webinar will be published in your Compass News Feed soon. The webinar will be recorded, so if you can't join live and need to catch up whenever works for you, please register and you will receive an email with a link to the recording after the live event.
