Raising emotionally intelligent children.
Financial literacy for families.
Parenting in the digital age: Managing screen time.
Managing the many daily parenting challenges including: overcoming bullying, creating healthy family lifestyles, managing emotional outbursts and challenging behaviours as well as supporting parents to help their children to manage their mental health and physical well-being, develop resilience and problem-solving skills.
Best Practice: HR departments that align webinars with employee feedback see higher engagement rates and stronger program effectiveness.

As always! Really, really good to support us struggling parents in the struggle with screen time as a new normal :) Also eSafety is really a good recommendation. Great that we get to continue with webinars via our workplace supporting Win Win programs! Thank YOU. Looks like so many mental health issues are still on the rise post-covid, so we need the support!
Thank you, to my management team for this course at this time, it will help a lot of families tune into where their children are in terms of their mental health and implement some supporting strategies.
