Making Parenting Easier Program - Free

Our first two groups of parents have now undertaken our Making Parenting Easier program. 

The way it works is that we meet at the school (or online if COVID demands) once a week for an hour and talk about the fact that raising kids in this day and age can be difficult.

Understanding what causes the most difficulties can go a long way to making life easier for everyone.

This program is not just for parents who are finding parenting difficult. It is a program for every parent who wants to be the best parent they can be, because they want the best possible outcomes for their children. 

Our next course will run on Monday mornings for 6 weeks 

9:15am - 10:15am starting 

Monday October 17.
