Based on content designed by The Parent Practice in London, these 5 or 10 week positive parenting courses offer you practical and useful tools and techniques to help you engage with and raise your children in a way that makes all of you feel good about yourselves. 

Our aim is not to tell you how to parent, but to equip you with strategies to help you parent your child/children they way you want to.   The result?  You will find you'll have a more peaceful family life with calmer children, increased engagement and communication.  All our content is based on the latest thinking in psychology and child development and designed to be flexible to suit all families and the variety of needs that different families have.  

Suitable for parents and carers of children ages 2 to teens, we will help you understand your child's temperament, help you form and strengthen your united front in the home, build the connection between you and your children and always work within your personal and family values.   

Parenting courses are not for dysfunctional families.  If we can accept that we go through schooling to acquire knowledge and learn life and career skills, why do we expect to know how to parent our children instinctively? In many situations, our gut instincts will be okay but sometimes we intuitively know that there must be another way... come and learn some very useful skills and knowledge to help you on your parenting journey!

Not in Lausanne / Le Chable? These dates/times not suitable?

If you are within the Swiss Cantons of Geneva, Vaud or Valais, consider getting a group of friends together and hosting a course at your home.  Upon request a five or ten week course can be scheduled to run from your home either in the daytime or evening with a minimum of six participants.  Each course lasts approximately two hours, including a 15 minute break. 

Fixed course dates are regularly added so please do join the waitlist if you are interested in a future course.

Alternatively, if you'd like to get started straight away or have a particular family situation you are dealing with, consider having a FREE zero-catch 20-minute private ZOOM session so we can have a chat and see how I can help you.
