Responsive Parenting Course
Equipping families for the parenting journey

Facilitated by Tabitha Jonson - Mum, parenting coach, facilitator and mentor (BA GDip Tchg)

Palmerston North Parents Centre’s Responsive Parenting Course is designed to encourage, support and equip families with positive, non-punitive strategies for the parenting journey.

The Course comprises six workshops based on international research and best practice in the area of gentle parenting. A key focus of the workshops is providing parents with strategies for building strong and secure relationships with their children through the use of compassionate communication, loving limits and non-punitive discipline.

This Course runs on over a weekend on the 24th and 25th March, 9.30am to 3pm.
