Parenting

Parents can easily lose confidence in their common sense and wisdom with society’s growing offerings of expertise about children and parenting. Increasingly, parents are prone to step aside and let experts address concerns about their children.

David uses the Parent Hope Project resources which are designed to help those supporting children and families to facilitate parents regaining their confidence as nurturing leaders for their children.

By sharing research-based principles, the Parent Hope Project programs equip parents with the knowledge and skills to foster their child’s development of responsible independence and calm connection, thereby enhancing their overall well-being.

“If you’re going to assist your child to grow their resilience, the first step will be to increase your own resilience in tolerating your child’s upset without feeling compelled to rush in and smooth over everything for them. The grown-up parent, who really wants to be a loving resource to their child, is prepared to work on themselves.” (Dr Jenny Brown; Grown Up Parenting.Ch 8 in Growing Yourself Up, p 108)
