Positive Parenting

Many parents and professionals working with children, look for theories, tools, techniques, insight and information that helps them support the development of children and young people. This support will hopefully enable the children to reach their full potential and learn how to establish long term relationships and build towards an independent future.

However, this style of parenting is a relatively recent approach and considers parents and guardians to be co-therapists in resolving any difficulties with their children or within the home. It offers them the possibility of becoming agents of change for them and the wider family. It also allows them to regain confidence in their parenting skills and abilities.

But children do not come with a step by step guide or manual, so the growth of parental coaching shows the importance parents are giving to better understanding how to build their families and support an education system that best suits their hopes and parenting goals.
