“There is no way to be a PERFECT parent, but a MILLION ways to be a good one”
We think our workshops are FAB, but don’t just take our word for it! Take a look at these glowing testimonials from parents attending ‘Who’s in Charge?’ workshop recently. Thank you to all the lovely mums and dads that attended – your feedback is greatly appreciated.
“Very informative. Not at all patronising. Motivational and inspiring. Course leaders were very approachable and down to earth.”
“It was real, relaxed and hit the nail on the head”
“The format, the topics covered and the chance to share experiences with other parents”
“It reminded me of things I really ought to know and practice but had forgotten or become too worn out to keep trying.”
“Positive approach, good refresher, not preaching at us and criticising current practice”
“Plenty of opportunity to discuss individual problems and share ideas”
“Relaxed and fun atmosphere but full of fantastic advice. Great trainers, such a valuable day”
“The speakers were very approachable and struck a great raport with the parents very quickly. The pace was very measured and well planned”
Reward Charts now available! Instead of using stickers our charts are re-useable and can be made in any topic to suit your child. Decide what behaviour or skill your child can be rewarded for and when successful let them choose which piece they would like to stick on to the main picture. Once three pieces have been attached they can choose a reward ( see also Reward bags) Details of how to use the chart most effectively are on the back of each chart.
If you would like to order a chart please email info@theparentproject.co.uk Payment by cheque or BACS. Details will be sent via email on receipt of order.
