presents Positive Parenting Essentials

Parenting isn’t always easy, but you could certainly experience greater JOY, PEACE and FULFILLMENT by applying principles that truly WORK!

Positive Parenting Essentials (PPE) is a 2-day highly experiential course specifically designed to enhance and enrich your parenting experience.  It  features some of the most advanced technologies and principles of adult learning. 

Expect an INTERACTIVE, THOUGHT PROVOKING and ENGAGING learning experience that can help you to uncover some new INSIGHTS that will profoundly change the way you see and relate with your child, enhance your ability to respond confidently to the inherent challenges of parenting, and better prepare you to instill self-discipline and nurture your child's innate potentials.

"I think it helps me to be more empathetic towards my children and be more responsive to them vs. being reactive … Definitely improved parent child relationship and a much happier and harmonious family life. ~ Yvonne Sahnam

In this foundational course, you will learn the fundamental paradigms and principles in Advanced Parentology and apply them immediately to TRANSFORM YOUR FAMILY LIFE. Advanced Parentology is body of knowledge on parenting that culminated from a multi-disiplinary study of the art and science of raising children.  It also forms the theoretical foundations for the parent education programmes and parent coaching services offered by the Institute.

“I know for awhile that my son´s behavioral pattern could have been an extension of my interaction with him. But I was never consciously present with him to make changes in my parenting. Now I know.  Before I see changes in him I need to change.  I need to make a conscious effort to delineate matters into proper perspective ... As I make it a point to consciously choose to stop doing whatever I was doing and put my attention on him I can say I feel better. Our interactions seem so much EASIER and MORE FUN. I can feel him trusting me more. I feel happier that he is sharing his feelings.” ~ Janice Ng

“My ‘misbehaving list’ for kids disappeared ... I realized that some of the confusion I had during these few years in parenting were due to my own beliefs.” ~ Diana Au

“This course helps me to appreciate the challenges of parenting – I have been resenting parenthood whenever the fatigue takes over, especially during early days of newborns, but in recent times, this resentment has definitely worn off as it becomes “easier,” and after this course, hopefully all the remnants of resentment have been removed.” ~ Shu Li

	Greater confidence in nurturing your child’s innate potentials
	Elimination of ‘blind spots’ that can hinder you from parenting effectively
	A more PEACEUL, ENJOYABLE and FULFILLING parenting experience

“Transformational. Perhaps it is timing.  Perhaps it is also at the most critical point that I am going through now.  Perhaps I am now ready for change.  The course has helped to 'defragment' the garbled messages strewn all over in my mind.  The course has mainly provided me the impetus for change.  This is short of a 'spiritual awakening' course for me.  Never have I felt so strongly about a course as this.” ~ Janice Ng
