The Hand in Hand Parenting Starter Class  is the foundation class if you are new to Hand in Hand Parenting.  It will show you the root of your child’s frustrating behaviour and give you the right tools to bring it back on course. Join Certified Instructor Madeleine Winter as she guides you through the process of building the best relationship possible with your child. Madeleine has been working with parents using the Hand in Hand Tools for over 30 years, and brings deep experience to coaching and supporting mothers and fathers across the world.

Join this Class to learn Hand in Hand's connection-based approach through 1-1 coaching and support, and meeting with a small group of other fathers and mothers on the same parenting journey.

You will learn to:

– Decode your child's difficult behaviours as stress-signals and bids for connection
– Respond better to tears, tantrums, defiance, aggression, and other common parenting challenges
– Set limits with warmth and authority before becoming frustrated and “losing it”
– Utilize the power of play to lift your children's fears, restore their confidence, and win their cooperation
– Reduce your own parenting stress and offer support to others through advice-free Listening Time

“It’s working! What you’ve suggested is actually helping me not only understand these unique little people but it seems to work well with the grownups in my family too! And for the first time in ages I’ve been enjoying parenting. This is a huge shift. Thank you.” Mother of 4 year old twins and 5 year old

“I found Madeleine to be warm, organised, able to answer questions clearly, thoughtful, respectful, professional and authentic.” A father taking the online Starter Class

 

“I would describe this course as a life changing experience. I went into this class thinking that my family life was about as good as it could get. Little did I know that parenting didn’t have to feel like my life was being drained out of me. Thanks to my Listening Partners and my new Listening Tools, my relationship with my son is better than I ever thought possible. And I finally have energy left over to take care of myself!” Mother of 9 year old boy.
