Free Introductory Workshop Often, the main topic of conversation of parents will be about the challenges of parenting their child. So let's have the same discussion, but in a parenting workshop format. Get a group of 4 or 5 pairs of parents (you'll need babysitters), and let's have a parlor meeting. I'll provide an introduction to parenting aimed at meeting your interests and age groups. This one-off introductory session will not cost you anything - for three reasons: 1) It gives you a chance to meet me. 2) It gives me a chance to deal with real everyday issues (I spend a lot of my time doing research) 3) I really believe in the utility of talking about parenting in an informed way Contact me for more details. _____________________________ I hope that you enjoy what you read on this website. Please do contact me with any comments or suggestions. I provide psychological counselling and consultation. If you would like to find out more, please email me by clicking here. |

Flexibility is important - and in my experience there has to be a good fit between parenting style and a parent's personality.
