Workshop 6 - WHAT ARE YOU SETTING YOUR KIDS UP FOR?
Getting parenthood right is much more than buying the right fashion label or sending kids to the right school. To be successful, children need the most important people in their lives, their parents, to have sorted out a family structure and a way of life that sets them up for success. Take the challenge. Let's have some fun. What's on offer for your children at home?

Workshop 7 - HOW TO BUILD BETTER BEHAVIOURS
A totally practical presentation designed to beat the typical home trouble spots; getting out of bed, getting to school on time, household organisation, the awful after school moods, dealing with anger, getting chores done, doing for others, bedroom tidiness and how to deal with bedtimes and friendships.

Workshop 8 - IDEAS TO BUILD YOUR CHILD'S EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE
Raising our children's emotional resilience doesn't lie in us doing it for them or months of psychotherapy. The best we can do is to persevere with sensible approaches to help our children make connections between what they feel, what they want and what might be best to do. Take the challenge; explore what you can realistically do for your children at home.

Workshop 9 - GOT HOMEWORK PROBLEMS? THERE ARE SOLUTIONS!
This workshop presents a way to ease the tension that so often surrounds homework. What is presented is down-to-earth advice because, in the end, if we fail to manage homework resourcefully we should not be surprised when our children avoid and become expert at sabotaging it.
