Parenting Skills

Parenting is a joy, yet it can also be a challenging responsibility for many of us. Being responsible for bringing a child into the world and raising him/her right is something many of us might feel unprepared for. We worry about so many things which may go wrong and we want to understand ‘how to parent’ and raise our child in the best possible way.

This program is designed to meet such needs and equip parents with skills, tools and tips from qualified psychologists that will help them not just cope with problem behaviour, but also build their child’s self esteem, will and autonomy.
