What will the parenting classes cover?

CANparent parenting classes cover all of the topics any mum, dad or carer of a child will face.  Be it daily routines, managing relationships, team parenting, behaviour or practical solutions to everyday challenges.

On a CANparent parenting class you can get support with everyday challenges such as:-

• learning through play
• parents working together as a team
• communicating and staying calm
• managing sleep issues
• coping with difficult behaviour
• rules and routines
• stress
• understanding different stages of your child's development
