Parenting Talks: support your parent community
There is nothing better than encouraging a parent on their journey, except being able to encourage many parents... all at once! Our Parenting Talks are fun and inspiring events you can hold at your school, kindy, workplace or community space to inspire and equip whānau with practical skills and informed guidance on the big topics they’re navigating.
How it works
Parenting Talks cater to the preschool, primary, intermediate and high school years of parenting.

We adapt our presentations to suit the age group and audience, and we offer Parenting Talks in:
- Workplaces
