Below are some of our Programs that build on the foundation of the Starter Class:

 

Instructor Certification Program (ICP), and the Master Class Stream.

 

INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

 

This program is for parents who wish to become leaders in their community, teaching the Parenting by Connection approach to other parents and, in some cases, professionals. Participants

 

  • Take 20 bi-weekly, facilitator-led mentoring groups, interspersed with 20 participant Support Groups - over around a year (so, breaking at times such as the end of year and new year school holidays).

  • Take 10 monthly classes

  • Have access to an online Classroom with lots of resources

  • Present and submit practical work with mentor support. 

  • Undertake a Certification Interview

 

THE MASTER CLASS STREAM is for those who don’t want to train to lead other parents, but who, nevertheless, want to go deeper into Parenting by Connection for their family. Along with Instructor Certification Program participants, Master Class participants

 

  • Take 20 bi-weekly, facilitator-led mentoring classes, interspersed with 20 participant Support Groups - over around a year (so, breaking at times such as the end of year and new year school holidays).

  • Take 6 of the 10 monthly classes

 

Both streams provide intensive mentoring in the Parenting by Connection tools, along with regular listening support. Both streams give participants the opportunity to make significant change in their families, as well as to bring more lightness, joy and sense of achievement to parenting.

 

You can read more here.

 

The cost of each stream is adjusted accordingly.

If you are interested in a shorter, less comprehensive, program of further learning and support we also offer:

 

ADVANCED PARENTING BY CONNECTION CLASS

 

  • 10 x bi-weekly classes

 

With the aim of providing further support for your Parenting by Connection endeavours - deepening your understanding of the approach, strengthening your skills in using the tools, and further developing the parent-parent support component. The more effective the latter is, the more profound and effective your use of the Listening to Children tools will be. Not only will you be a better listener for your children, but your limbic connection with your child will be stronger as a result of the Listening Time you get for yourself.

 

Cost: Advanced Parenting by Connection Program      $ 625
