For dads with children of all age groups

This is our newest course, following popular demand, and has been designed as a short four-week course. It includes most of the topics covered in our five-week courses, varying the content of the course to meet the needs of those attending and the ages of their children.

The course covers:

* Children's behaviour - their needs and emotions, why they behave as they do, parenting styles & what influences our parenting

* Discipline - finding positive ways to deal with inappropriate behaviour and issues such as smacking, time out, rewards & bribes

* Communication & Quality Time - how to develop effective listening and talking skills, developing good communication; treating one another with Respect, quality time with your child/ren, looking after yourself so that you are able be an effective parent

Do note, that dads have also attended our five-week specific courses most commonly in the evening. Some have attended with their partners and others following their partner who attended a previous course.
