IMPACT STORIES

I encourage all parents to make this investment [taking time] to attend this workshop. Because I believe as parents, it's a continual learning journey. As the child goes to school, parents also need to go to school to learn the right skill sets, the right methodology in order to become effective parents.

- Shu Wei (Mother of 2 boys, 6-year-old and 8-year-old)

Because it's a dialogue, we get to interact with other parents and hear from them - what are the things they do with their children, what challenges [they face], so at least it helps us feel that we're not alone. And we could pick up tips from other parents too, so that was good.

- Hannah (Mother of 2 boys, 5-year-old and 8-year-old)

In the week itself, we can apply [the tips] to our children, and we can observe their behaviours, and then we can come back and consult the trainer if things don't go according to how we expect. So, it's not just theoretical, there's also the practical aspect.

- Terrance (Father of 2 boys, 5-year-old and 8-year-old)

 

Core Dialogues

This series covers foundational principles that are relevant across all age groups.

Dialogue 1

The Parent Species: Becoming the Parent You Want to Be

We all enter parenting differently - Some carry baggage from our own families, some are used to stern approaches, others struggle with discipline.

Whatever you have been through and whichever stage of parenting you are at, we will help you identify your style, adjust unhealthy habits and grow to become a parent-coach.  

So think about it, what type of parent do you want to be?

Parents, you continue to have great influence in their lives; help them build a solid foundation at home and in their interpersonal relationships.

Tween Years (10-12 year olds)
In these years of growing independence, Tweens want to assert their individuality more than ever before and their peers begin to have a stronger influence than most parents would like to acknowledge. In such times, they need a firm but no less loving hand to guide them towards right choices and stand up to the pressures of growing up.
