Details

Interactive short-course for parents of school-aged children, helping you to do your best parenting in this time of pandemic, guided live by best-selling author Kim McCabe.

This 3-week course will help you to:

  • enjoy parenting in these strange times
  • give your child/ren a sense of calm and safety
  • be a parent at the same time as an at-home education overseer
  • help your children make the transition back to school
  • give your child tools for managing their big feelings: increased anxiety, frustration, disappointment
  • figure this all out in a supportive mini-community of ten parents

Series of three live 90-minute online sessions with Kim, with a private Facebook group to continue the conversation during the week and three videos sent as additional material after each session.

We'll get the most from our time together if we follow these guidelines:

• I will join online sessions from a place that is quiet, safe, private and free from distractions.
• I will not record, take photos or screengrabs of any interactions.
• I will be present for myself and others during our session and will not multitask.
• I will do my best to arrive on time and arrange to be able to stay for the whole session.
• I have my facilitator’s number so I can text to let her know if I lose the Zoom connection
• I will endeavour to be true to myself, be respectful to myself and others, listen attentively, be responsible for myself and my needs, and maintain confidentiality.
