About the Confident Parent Course
✅ The Confident Parent Course presents a paradigm shift away from focussing on children, to focussing on what is in the parent’s capacity. Parents will gain insights into how they can best contribute to their child’s positive emotional health.
✅ Parents learn to reflect on their energy direction, worry and connecting well with their child.
✅ Parents learn to focus on what is within their control, holding boundaries and parenting by principles to regain confidence.
✅ Principles to achieve long-term parenting goals, based on family systems research.
✅ The course uses video content, with a balance of ideas and action role plays. A workbook is included to help parents reflect and apply the ideas.
Frequently asked questions
From worry about your child, to confidence in your parenting

See more about the course here, or a video intro here.
Start with the theory course – Family Systems and symptoms in children (1.5 hours, or 2.5 hours for facilitator training).
You can then watch the parent courses, the Confident Parent Course (5 hours total), or Cultivating Confident Parenting (1.5 hours) to see what is available for parents.
Those with the Church video package will then complete the 20 minutes training in answering questions. Book in a mentor session in the community learning hub. You are then ready to start showing the videos in your community.
In the Confident Parent Course and Cultivating Confident Parenting courses, each session of the faith-based version concludes with a short reflection of a relevant bible verse. The workbook has simple reflection questions linked to the verse and parenting principles.
