Parenting is hard! Come and try this...

Simple steps for calmer kids and saner mornings

How gentle parenting actually works
Sarah Parkes

If you are tired of repeating yourself, raising your voice, or second guessing your choices, come and take some time to rethink the script. Sarah Parkes, conscious parenting coach with thirteen years of experience, parent of three, and Amazon best selling author joins us for a Friday talk and a Saturday workshop (childcare provided!) at The Forum at Q. She'll show how gentle parenting actually works in real homes: clear language, simple steps, and calmer moments that stick. You don't need to agree with everything. Come and hear the ideas, and leave with tools you can try the same day.
