They say it takes a village to raise a child and that’s great in theory but where’s the village? In the process of getting through our day our love of doing more, achieving more and being more, we have enough challenges crossing the street to visit a neighbour let alone to be a contributing villager!
We have more of a village and support structure in our roles at work than we do as our role as a parent. At work, we spend countless hours training, mentoring and being mentored but are left on our own for the critical role of parent. There are plenty of books and videos around but who has time to read them? And what do you read? There is so much information out there that it becomes a full time job just sifting through it all! So, rather than you spending precious hours reading, surfing or networking at the back gate we have done the work for you. Every month we deliver webinars on cutting edge research, social issues such as bullying in all its forms, nutrition, leadership, discipline and punishment and other topics that are relevant to raising kids today. All as close as your computer.
We interview or present leading experts, high profile and not so high profile parents, leaders and even kids to bring you a balanced perspective and information immediately relevant. There is no agenda and no reason to influence the thinking of anyone who listens. This is a community parents forum for open discussion and support. You don’t even need to be a parent – you could be an auntie, an uncle, a teacher, an older sibling or an involved friend – anyone involved in shaping the minds of our next generation is welcome.
We look forward to welcoming you – sign up to our newsletter to be kept informed about future webinars and click on the link in the left hand column of this website to access past interviews.
