parent by design

Yes, 21 days. Quite a bold claim, but it is achievable.

Parenting can be tricky, but it doesn't have to be a complete mystery... it depends on how you approach it.

Take any challenge or difficulty you have had (or are having) with your child; look closely and you'll see that the underlying cause will be one (or a combination) of the following:

1
Your approach, your way of thinking, or your lack of skills is the cause.
2
A lack of understanding- either you don't really understand your child and what they are going through and/or they are struggling with this themselves.
3
Your child doesn't yet possess the skills or resources to deal with the situation.

Medical issues aside, that's it; which means that you can identify where any difficulty lies and then deal with it.

The problem is, we have so much going on that we don't have the time or the energy to work all this out.

It's like that old saying about the exhausted woodcutter who kept wasting time and energy chopping wood with a blunt axe because he did not have the time, he said, to stop and sharpen the blade.

Parent by design, is your chance to stop and sharpen your blade.

why not give it a try?

Don't just take our word for it, why not see how it works for yourself?

the programme

There are countless ways you could improve, 1000's of books and courses on parenting- so where do you start?

Like anything in life there are a few key principles that if you get right, make all the difference; the programme focuses on these:

We'll help you be a better parent by focusing on the one thing that drives your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour: your values.
Work together with your child to gain an understanding of who they are and what they are capable of using the scientifically robust field of character strengths.
We've identified the 5 core resources your child needs to flourish, by working on these in tandem with their character strengths, your child will grow in ability, competence and confidence.

But the key to it all is consistency.

To get the results you want, you have to focus on these key elements each day.

Which is why we have created a daily and weekly routine to make sure we stay on top of everything.

In this programme we show you step-by-step how to create yours.

how the programme helps you be a better parent

A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you're not living in alignment; you're not be being true to yourself.

- Steve Maraboli

A busy life means that we don't often get the chance to pause and reflect, parent by design will help you to:

Discover what's important to you about being a parent (your values) and then focus on using these to guide your actions each day.
Organise your day framework so that you keep on top of your parenting you'll feel in control and confident that you are doing the right thing. Purpose as opposed to autopilot and instinct- discover your unique path, .
Incorporate all of this into a simple to follow daily and weekly routine, that will help you to feel more in control, be more consistent, have more energy and be a happier parent.

how the programme helps develop understanding

Everybody is a genius.

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

- Albert Einstein

Growing up is a confusing time for both parents and kids, often it's a struggle to really understand what kids are going through.

This lack of understanding can create a negative and attritional relationship, and as Einstein in the above quote says, the consequences for your child can be lifelong and damaging.

This programme will help you to:

Work with your child so that you both gain a deeper understanding of their true nature, their unique strengths and abilities, and what they are capable of. Judge them on this, nothing else.
Be a more positive parent, instead of parenting by correcting your kids' mistakes- you will learn how to look for what your kids are doing right instead of wrong.
Enjoy a much deeper connection and better relationship with your child, one built on positivity, understanding and trust.

how the programme helps your child develop their resources

I'm a big fan of good grades. But I am going to suggest to you that you will find that the skills of a student are of somewhat less use to you once you get out into what is sometimes referred to as 'the real world.'

- Jeffrey Toobin

We believe that our job as parents is to help our kids to develop the resources they need to thrive in school and in life beyond the classroom.

In our research over the years we have identified 5 core skills that your child will need to live a happy, successful life, whatever they choose to do: emotional intelligence, creativity, growth mindset, resilience and critical thinking.

These 5 core skills will also enable them to stand out from their competition and be economically viable in a world where technology, AI and algorithms rule.
