Parent Education is for Everyone

Parenting is the most difficult job, yet the one we are least prepared for. There are many courses available on how to manage finances, health and lifestyle, however, there are few courses in parenting. Our parenting expertise comes from our own childhood and how we were raised. Yet our own examples and experiences many not be relevant to today’s society.

Parenting Education equips us with a set of skills and strategies to deal with the daily challenges of parenting. Parent Educators help parents explore ways to encourage children to become cooperative, self confident, responsible and inter-dependent. During courses and workshops, participants share ideas, encouragement and support in raising their children.

The Family Education Centre parenting courses and workshops are based on the works of renowned psychologist Dr. Alfred Adler and his beliefs in mutual respect, encouragement, and shared experiences. Our programs are developed from the democratic parenting style, where Parent Educators help parents explore ways to encourage children to become cooperative, self-confident, responsible and interdependent. Each session is tailored to equip parents with a set of skills and strategies to deal with the daily challenges of parenting relevant to today’s society. This is done through interactive group participation, by creating an open atmosphere where parents feel comfortable to share ideas and the support in knowing that others are also experiencing similar situations.
