Session 1: Understanding love and connection
Session one explores what loving warm relationships look like.

Session three is about helping us understand our children's emotions and explores the ways we can deeply connect with our kids by learning to listen and understand their emotions.

Session four is about understanding how we can respond to our children’s behaviour by encouraging the behaviour we want and responding to the behaviour we don’t want.
Session 5: Understanding the world of a preschooler
Session five looks at some of the common challenges of parenting preschoolers, and parenting tools that offer helpful support.
