Family Wellbeing: Parenting Consciously

The Ripple Effect

Appropriate for parents, grandparents, teachers, managers, child care teams and child minders.

The primary focus of the Course is the exploration of the need for parents (and others) to parent themselves. Since parents are the architects of the family, how they nurture and support themselves, determines family wellbeing.

When individuals/parents come to realise that there is never any blame, judgement or criticism of how they are in the world or of how they currently parent (teach or child-mind), but, rather, are met with compassion, kindness and support, they relax and begin to embrace their individuality, their creativity and their genius.

When the individuals/parents are relating from this strong sense of themselves, then they can provide the same safe relating for the young people in their care.

The Parent and Relationship Mentor can adapt this ten week Course to the needs of an individual or group, for example, delivered as a lunch and learn session; facilitated as a two-hour talk on a key topic; half day or full-day workshop on central course themes.
