PARENTING WITH A PURPOSE
Parenting consciously to create a positive future for our children.


Parenting with Purpose has been created to encourage parents/caregivers and key support people to look at how they parent,where they learnt their parenting skills and are they the most productive skills to use when raising children. It is a six module programme, 2 hours each week for 6 weeks.

 
All families are different, and all children are different. 
 
This programme challenges participants to discover within themselves the type of parent they want to be and to develop positive strategies that will work for them and their own family.
 
This is achieved through a variety of exercises and discussions using questions such as: 
* What kind of parent do I want to be?
* What are my needs? 
* How can I meet my children's needs? 
* What causes challenging behaviour? 
* How do I deal with challenging behaviour? 
* What future do I want to create?

This parent support programme has been developed in association with The Ministry of Social Development, SKIP and Parents Centre New Zealand Inc.
