Parenting
The secret of successful parenting is to balance love and boundaries. In other words, gentleness and firmness, being able to say both yes and no.
That's the easy bit! How we put these simple principles into practice are a little more tricky. Even the most capable parents can still blunder about from one extreme to the other. There are no perfect parents.
But parenting classes can be really helpful because we can learn tried-and-tested techniques that help us handle our kids firmly and lovingly. It's also pretty reassuring to hear that most other parents struggle with much the same difficulties as we do. There really aren't any perfect parents!
We run courses for three different age groups - parents with newborn babies to five years of age, parents with six to 11-year-olds, and parents with teenagers ("whatever!").
Courses cost £60 whether you attend on your own or as a couple. Parents on benefits do not have to pay. Courses are either six morning or six evening sessions.
