What parents say about the parent centre courses


Coaching for 2-6 year olds


“The course has definitely made me think about the way I speak to my son, and has prompted helpful discussion between my husband and me. I’d definitely recommend it to other parents. Thanks.”
J R, Edinburgh

“This course was very useful. I found the weekly action planning the most useful as it forced you to put something into practice (rather than just reading about good behaviour as we often do!). I thought you were excellent at ensuring we discussed our plans the next week and very good at encouraging us.”
J G, Edinburgh


Coaching 5 – 12 year olds


“The Primary School Parenting course was very helpful to me as it has given me a basis to build on. I felt very encouraged and always felt positive after the session.”
S W, Edinburgh

“I got a lot out of the course and would recommend it to other people.”
