Values-Based Parenting and Caring

Being a good parent or carer isn't easy. There is nobody more important in a child's life, but it can be stressful and exhausting, and can create tension and conflict in the household. It is often mentally and emotionally draining.

Moreover we tend to forget how important it is to look after ourselves as well as our children.

In this series of free interactive workshops, we will suggest practical ways to balance discipline and love, introduce you to some simple yet powerful tools to raise happy and balanced children, and above all show you how to stay patient, loving and mentally healthy even when the pressure is at its worst!

You are invited to join three 90-minute workshops: one in July, one in August and one in September, each revolving around a powerful core value. These will be followed by a fourth and final "graduation" workshop in October which will bring together all the learning and insights from the previous months.

For each workshop there is a choice of two sessions each month, catering to different time zones - please refer to the dates and times below to find the date and time that suits you. To get the fullest benefit from these workshops we encourage you to do your best to attend all four of them (i.e. one each month). Feel free to attend on your own or reserve a place for a partner or family member as well.

Organisers and Facilitators: the workshops are facilitated by Living Values Education, which for almost 30 years has been running successful values-based educational programmes for children, young people, teachers and parents and carers in over 40 countries around the world. In collaboration with (and in celebration of ) World Values Day 2025 they are now offering these workshops free to parents and carers around the world in an accessible online format.
