Positive Parenting Courses
A wonderful and committed group of parents have just completed a 6 week Parent Gym course run by Mrs Shear.
This was a course of six 2-hour workshops with "missions" to complete in between each. The aim of the course is to make sure parents
Week 1: Chat - how to communicate
Week 2: Love - how to balance warmth and discipline
Week 3: Behave - how to be consistent with limit setting
Week 4: Care - how to raise healthy children
Week 5: Discover - how to encourage learning
Week 6: Together - how to build a support network with parents and children
The parents feedback for this course was truly positive and all of them would recommend the course to other parents and wished they had found a the Parent Gym course when they first became parents. There will be further Parent Gym courses run across The Orion and Goldbeaters this year.
