Our parenting workshops offer a supportive space to explore the hows, whats, and whys of raising children. Led by experienced, compassionate professionals, these sessions are designed to empower you with practical tools and insights—helping you parent with confidence and in line with your values.
Dads Tuning in to Kids (7 sessions)
Monday 20 October to 1 December | 6:00pm to 8:00pm @ Child and Parent Centre Carey Park | Dinner provided
This program equips dads and male influences with emotional coaching skills to support children aged 2 to 10 years with their emotions and behaviours. Like any skill, emotional regulation is something that requires coaching and support – plus many, many opportunities to practise!! Think of it like learning how to ride a bike or throw a ball – sometimes we get it right, sometimes we don’t but it’s all part of developing the skill so that it becomes automatic or easier in future. This program will be facilitated by Deb Woods from Parenting Ways, supported by Tricia Ward from Investing In Our Youth.
