Parenting Course Dublin

  • Weekly
  • One Day

Courses are either done over a number of weeks (approx 6) or a one day Saturday class.

This is a Practical Parenting course given by me, Sheila O’Malley who qualified professionally over four years as a Parent & Relationship Mentor with Dr Tony Humphreys. It will provide you with parenting tips and skills to parent more effectively. Parenting is the hardest job you’ll ever do and comes with no training or support. These Parenting classes provide an opportunity to reflect, an invitation to change creating a calmer and happier home.    Click here for Parents’ feedback


Why would I attend a Parenting Class? Here’s some feedback.

“I really found it inspirational and insightful; it should be a prerequisite that EVERY parent attends a course like this. … the  sessions were really, really enjoyable; each Monday morning, I actually looked forward to the class. You asked what really resonated for each of us, and for me, there were many, many valuable key points but the ones below really leap out :

  • Be a parent to yourself, nurture yourself, affirm yourself, because you can only take care of others if you’ve taken care of yourself first.
  • Every child is a genius & All behaviour makes sense. To me, the realisation that every thing that your child does is for a reason, that by behaving in a certain way, the child is trying to alert you to a need they have, was a really fundamental point;  it was like a lightbulb going on, a missing piece in a jigsaw.
  • In each and every engagement with your children, treat them with respect – in how you speak with them, in how you interact with them, in how you are with them – and always, always put yourself in their shoes, empathise with them.
  • All communication is about the person it comes from – this is so, so true but often gets forgotten (and closely intertwined with point 1 above because our communication with others at any given point in time is a function of how we’re feeling in ourselves at that moment.)

    Every parent can benefit from a parenting class to improve communication, understand the feelings beneath the child’s behaviour and resolve conflict successfully. ” Margaret

    Quotes from parents are 100% positive.

    “I recommend to any couple to do this course – together. It has had such a positive impact on our family. All the kids are doing great! I think everyone should do this course. Everything changed – for the better. We had a child who was really challenging us – and by the end of the course – that relationship had utterly transformed – she virtually blossomed and we are a much more contented family”
    – Brian & Sinead
