Teen
Parenting Course - 17th October
09
|
| "I think
every parent with a child in
secondary schools should attend
this course. If all parents of
teenagers had a similar
approach to teen problem
solving then it would be easier
for all." |
| "I found the
course very helpful. It covered
a lot of issues. It was also a
very good group. You're not
alone raising a teenager. Great
Experience." |
| "Excellent
practical information offered -
interaction was encouraged
which made the day enjoyable.
Also good to talk and listen to
other parents. Would definitely
recommend this
programme." |
| "Very good
course - good sound principles,
well
illustrated." |
| "I attended
as a secondary teacher and
parent and could identify with
all parents. This course should
give parents more confidence in
parenting and strategies. So
many parents are feeling
helpless and they should
communicate with the school at
all times." |
| "I feel
prepared for the future after
attending this
course." |
| "I found this
course very interesting and
informative." |
| "Very useful,
practical and informative. Some
core principles that sound like

to trying to apply
them!" |

and supportive
process." |

a parent. It is great to get
feedback from other parents
also. I have noticed not only
my own confidence grow, but my
daughter's as well. Thank
You!" |

dedicated time to think, learn
and share parenting problems

Teen
Parenting Course - January

|
|
"The course
was informative and conducted
in an easy learning style, it
gave me good tips/skills to
help me
parent."
|
|
"Having learnt so
much and seeing how our family has
changed in two weeks, I would want
others to experience the joy of
being a happy and positive parent
with happy positive
children." |
|
"Reassuring to
hear that other parents are having
the same conflicts. Good advice on
how to teach teens responsibility
and affect their behaviour in a
positive
way." |
|
"An
excellent course. Very well
presented and organised. The course
structure and content was
excellent. Practical yet with a
very helpful framework underlying
the various topics which parents
can take away and use again and
again." |
|
"Helped me to
realise that my tone/attitude
dictate outcome of all situations.
Pressing pause button and stepping
back and listening, benefits all
the family. I think Teen Parenting
Courses should be compulsory to
all. I have the necessary tools to
make my family a happier/contented
one but this course has shown me
how to use them to the best
effect." |
|
"Speaker John was
excellent. Delivery fantastic,
non-judgemental,
funny." |

"Enormous
benefit/investment in life. Great
to hear others and learn skills to
deal with
situations." |
|
"Positive tools
learnt help us to be better parents
to our
children." |
|
"Course helped me
greatly. Firstly to understand that
as a family we are not doing too
much wrong, almost every family
goes through the same issues. It
taught me to "PAUSE", reflect and
construct positive,constructive
feedback to the girls rather than
flying off the handle as a result
of losing control of the
situation." |
|
"This
course has helped me realise
mistakes I was making as a parent
and help me set an easier and
productive
path." |
|
"Clarity of
explanations given by the presenter
were very real and extremely
helpful. Great understanding of
real
issues." |

would recommend this course as it
empowers you to go home and TRY out
new ways of being a
parent." |
|
"Parenting is a
skill which needs to be learned and
that is what this course is
about." |
|
"Meeting other
parents with similar problems and
realising you are not the only one.
Rebuilding my confidence, that it's
not my fault things are not going
well." |

Age 1 to 6
&
6 to 11 Courses - November
08:
|
| "I didn't
feel I was being "judged".
Very relaxed environment and
felt that every one is in the
same boat". |
| "The course
teaches you how to be a better
parent, looking at all your
options before following
through. Talking to other
parents, I learned so much and
also to be
calmer." |
| "It was
relaxed, personal and had no
pressure to speak about
personal experience if you
didn't want to. Just talking to
others in the same situation
makes me realise my kids are
not an
exception". |
| "It's amazing
to see the difference that
little changes can make in a
family and especially when the
parent changes their ways and
implements the positivity that
this course encourages. It all
just makes sense and is "real"
and very
"do-able" |
| "It is
extremely positive, simple and
easy to reflect situations and
issues in one's everyday life.
I would definately recommend
this course" |
| "Learning
little things can make a
difference to how difficult
times can be dealt with better
or avoided." |
| "It has given
me some structure and methods
to deal with my child when he
is not
behaving." |
| "I think this
course has been extremely
worthwhile and will have real
benefits to myself and my
family. The ideas presented
were backed up with practical
examples making it
"real". |
| "When
individual parents highlight
specific problems/issues with
their kids, learning how they
should be dealt with is
beneficial to the whole group.
I enjoyed watching the DVD
highlights and ways to deal
with the issues. A wonderful
experience that will help me
improve my parenting
skills." |
| "The course
is excellent. It has helped me
to take control of my
reactions, take the emotion out
and be with my children as I am
with
others." |
| "I found
it very helpful to listen
to others and also go
through steps of what to do,
how to react etc. Think overall
I have learnt a lot of new
skills and tactics that will
benefit me for years to come -
a great
course." |
| "It was good
to hear others in the same
position. Makes you re-think
your steps. Material was very
good too." |

Interesting delivery with
really good sound advice that
works." |
