Raising children should be one of life’s greatest experiences, but as any parent knows, it is not an easy task. People with children under ten are invited to this four-week course to learn new skills, feel better about their parenting and gain confidence. Topics include:

• developmental stages of children and temperamental traits;
• different parenting styles;
• need for boundaries and rules, the giving of instructions and the consequences, both negative and positive, of withdrawing attention;
• understanding behaviour patterns and communication;
• need for positive self-esteem and resilience and environmental influences.
