Parenting Courses

Georges River Life Care has been running parenting courses for over four years with over 200 participants. We conduct parenting courses for parents of 2-12 year olds (1-2-3 magic) and parents of teenagers (Toolbox parenting)

1-2-3 Magic

1-2-3 magic is a three session program aimed at parents with children 2-12yrs old. The course is designed to assist parents to manage their child’s difficult behaviour such as tantrums, yelling, fighting and arguing. You will also learn practical skills to develop your child’s positive behaviour and help make parenting an enjoyable experience.

Some comments from participants: “Great, easy to understand course”, “Had positive results straight away”, “… there is an alternative to getting angry with my child”

Toolbox for Teenagers

Parenting a teenager can be like riding a roller coaster, full of unpredictability and ups and downs. The toolbox parenting course is a six session program designed to help parents address the challenges of adolescence.

The aim of the course is to give parents tools to equip your teenager with a strong sense of self, as well as responsibility and resourcefulness, and to help you in your journey of letting go and handing over some of the controls as your young person learns to fly solo.

TOPICS INCLUDE: What makes teenagers tick? Boundaries, Communication, Discipline, Self Esteem & Healthy Thinking, Dating & Romance.

Participants Comments: “I found the course very helpful. It gave me great insights into my child’s thinking but also helped me to understand how my responses can be more helpful.. It has given me some great tools to build a better relationship with my teenage daughter”. “The role plays are hilarious. These guys have a great insight and great sense of humour”.
