Please note these sessions will now be held at the Centre for perinatal health & parenting in Ballarat victoria.

Do you have a group of mums and/or dads who would like to have Louise provide education regarding a parenting topic of your choice? Or perhaps your preference is not just a single topic, but a general parenting Q&A to address the many questions you hear from your clients or friends?

Or perhaps you would prefer a half hour presentation on Infant Sleep & Settling followed by a one hour Q & A session on a range of topics related to the particular age group of interest to your group. Written material can be provided by request.

This session requires a 1.5 hour commitment.

Or a very popular combination, suitable for larger groups of 10+, is a powerpoint presentation on Toddler Behaviour: Positive Guidance followed by a sharing of family experiences and challenges by parents in the room, morning or afternoon tea, troubleshooting those behaviour challenges shared, approaches and strategies are discussed as a group and facilitated by Louise. Written handouts on a range of challenges are provided. E.g. ‘kids who hit siblings’; ‘toliet teaching’; why wont my child listen?’; ‘how to peacefully teach and set clear limits’.
