What is the Confident Parent Course?

The confident Parent course is a 6-session coaching program (individualised or in a group) for parents who are committed to
facilitating their children’s emotional well-being. Parent manuals provide additional information and
worksheets to support parent efforts. Parents are helped to consider their role in encouraging their
child’s healthy development.


It aims to:
• Optimise the way you support your child’s wellbeing
• Shift focus to yourself rather than trying to change your child
• Promote more autonomy and responsibility in your child through how you manage yourself
• Help you strengthen your loving and frm leadership
• Establish a longer-term view of supporting your children’s growth in responsible independence. 


Confidence building: From child project to parent project
It’s natural to want to try to take on responsibility for trying to change a child when they are
struggling in aspects of life. Hence it may be a surprise to hear that this program is designed to
focus on the parent rather than to try to change the child. A repeated idea in the Parent Confdence
Project is that when parents shift their energies away from trying to change their child and
invest in what is in their control as parents, their child has increased breathing space to grow
in character and resilience. The changes a parent makes can have a ripple effect and beneft the
whole family.
