Key Skills for Parents

Master essential parenting skills with wit, warmth and wisdom in 13 engaging modules.

Overview

Parenting isn’t a magical instinct, and no – there’s not a manual. But this course comes awfully close. Key Skills for Parents is a witty yet sharply informative guide for those who wish to navigate the delightful minefield of raising children with a bit more confidence, clarity, and considerably less guesswork. Whether you're baffled by bedtime routines or bracing for teenage logic, this course gently steers you towards a firmer understanding of your role, minus the fluff.

Through 13 focused modules, you'll explore foundational ideas, the undeniable importance of relationships, and the curious behaviour of children (yes, there’s usually a reason). You’ll examine how to teach values that actually stick, communicate in ways that don’t result in slammed doors, and discipline with dignity—not drama. It's thoughtful parenting stripped of clichés, wrapped in insight, and delivered with a pinch of good humour.
