Is parenting making you feel ashamed, guilty, or helpless? In an age where parenting advice is both abundant and confusing, it’s time to learn about something no one taught you: becoming a confident, guilt-free parent.
“It helped me better myself, not just as a parent, but as a person as well. ”
Benefits
Spend about 2-3 hours each week to:
Inculcate good parenting habits and reduce harmful parenting habits in yourself
Discover your parenting style, and understand what good parenting means for your children
Raise children who become happy, responsible adults with a good shot at life
How The Program Will Work
This program helps you to learn, actively reflect, and put new ideas into practice:
What to expect
There will be tasks (short reading & videos, reflection questions to be answered after thinking) every day/every other day.
These can be completed any time at your convenience within a day. You can choose your own time - there’s no fixed daily slot. A typical task takes about 20 mins.
There’s no spoon-feeding: you’ll be encouraged to actively think and try small experiments in your own environment, and report back.
We’ll use an online group to post articles and for discussions. There will be 3 video interactions but these are mainly for Q&A.
