I did the Conscious Parenting course (through Thrive By Design) last year with my partner, when our little girl was about 7 months old.

 I found it easily the most useful thing I’ve done in becoming a better parent. Even as a psychologist who knows a lot about child development, I got so much out of it because it’s so interactive. It really gives you a chance to talk through, and get feedback on, situations that you might find yourself in as a parent. It’s also based on sound theory, which is very important to me.

 What I think sets it apart from any other parenting resources I’ve come across is that it guides you through how your own experience of being raised can affect your parenting style/approach, and gives an interactive process through which you can learn to adjust your approach, do things differently, and parent more consciously.

 I haven’t yet come across another parenting course that gives you that. I got so much out of it that I’ll be doing it again this year! Now that my daughter is almost a year older, I have some new questions!

 I would recommend this course extremely highly to any parent (or would-be parent). Given the years of benefit I’ll get from it, it’s the best investment I’ve made in my daughter’s life so far.

The conscious parenting course has given my wife and I a deep understanding of our children as divine gifts and the enormous potential of the parent child relationship. We now have a shared philosophy through which we can guide our children into life while maintaining the amazing wholeness that they came into the world with. The bonds we formed with other parents continue to be daily support in our lives and we are now softer, gentler, and more compassionate with our children and with eachother. Krishan and Sarina

My aim in attending this programme was to gain a better understanding of children in order to learn how to create healthy relationships with them for the purposes of developing strong bonds with my niece and nephews [I have no children of my own] and for being able to work with disadvantaged children in the future. Not only was this achieved, but I also gained an amazing insight into myself, the efects of my childhood on the person I am and how this affects my relationships with people in my adult life. I also learned some excellent techniques for interpersonal communication on all levels, This programme provides extremely beneficial insight into relationshios of all types, communication and self-understanding Christine
