During one of the sessions, I was asked to write down the positive things I feel towards my child. So I wrote them and decided to stick the note on my 10-year-old daughter's wardrobe. When she saw it, she was so touched. We weren’t doing well recently, the note actually helped mend our relationship. I am so happy I attended the workshop and learned how to better relate to my daughter!

About

A practical parenting workshop that aims to equip you with the essential tools you need to raise independent and resourceful children. Learn how to better understand your kids and your own parenting style while being an effective and communicative parent to your child every step of the way.

Why Parenting with Confidence?

  • Learn compelling and creative strategies to engage children at specific ages (0-6, 7-12, 13-19)
  • Enjoy dynamic exchange of ideas and anecdotes with fellow participants
  • Hear timeless parenting principles backed by trusted research from parenting experts

Customised workshops by age group

0-6 years

Parenting a newborn or preschooler can be intimidating, especially for first-time parents. Through this module, participants will learn how to establish a strong foundation during the child’s formative years.

  • Identify your parenting style and be an effective Parent-Coach
  • Identify your child's personality and successfully meet his/her needs
  • Apply discipline strategies and techniques
  • Communicate effectively, impart values, and create good memories for your child

7-12 years

School is usually a big transition for both parents and children. This critical period is also an opportune time to build up your child's self-esteem and confidence when it comes to interacting with others. Be equipped to nurture independent and responsible children!

  • Communicate effectively with your child
  • Teach your child how to balance choice and limits
  • Build up your child and impart crucial problem-solving skills
  • Get in first to address "tween" issues and independence

13-19 years

Many parents struggle when their child hits adolescence because it seems like everything is changing. The secret to keeping the parent-teen relationship strong during this trying period lies in the parents’ ability to guide them in making critical choices while reinforcing foundational pillars.

  • Equip your teen with a strong sense of responsibility
  • Employ practical tools for engaging your teen's cooperation
  • Have open and honest discussions about topics like media discernment, sex and money
  • Balance limits, choices and consequences for your teen while giving them needed space
