yes i do a lot of 'training' on parenting - two courses called 'handling children's behaviour' and handling teenage behaviour' - they are 'courses' initially, but mostly they morph into ongoing support group networks for parents around the issues of emotional literacy, self management and stress management, additional support needs and extreme behaviour/SEBD - those parents go on to run their own courses and set up other networks locally

Anybody training for parenting courses out there?

I have just read through the Good Book company one "putting parenting to bed" I wonder if anyone has done it, read it ... how has it gone?
- I have some questions about it really
thanks

HI in response to your email about what training we do ...

Dave Gidney ... childrens worker training naturally

specialities ... Old Testament particularly ...and then apprenticeship based training of children's workers.
That means I will train on any area, but particular specialities are biblical issues around childrens work, and looking at families work, and tweenagers in particular.
