One of the most precious and beautiful challenges in life is the privilege of being a parent. Delicate little human lives are placed in our hands to be moulded, guided and formed, and to have their inherent gifts, talents and potentialities liberated and actualized.

Parents will learn:

The 10 Principles of Parenting

Role of Fathers

Practical applications to parenting

Discipline vs punishment

This Programme is meant to facilitate adult reflection on parenting styles and responsibilities, and on the methods and practices we can utilize to create healthy homes and family living.
