Confident Parent Course

31 August, 2026 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

The Confident Parent Course, developed by Dr Jenny Brown, aims to help parents move from stress and tension in today's parenting landscape, to clarity and confidence.
 

Based on Bowen Family Systems Theory, a key shift in healthy family functioning is moving from viewing the child as 'the project' — the one to fix or focus all energy on — to seeing the parent's own growth and leadership as the real project.

 

This is a 4 week course on Monday evenings in the East-West Hall from August 31 to September 21 from 7-9pm .


The 4-part course explores:

  1. Where is my energy directed?
  2. Is worry driving my connection?
  3. How do I hold clear limits?
  4. Am I thinking big picture?

 

Hope grows when the project is the parent, not the child.

 
The course will be facilitated by Steve Dinning. Steve has a background in social work and ordained Anglican parish ministry spanning 20 years. Since 2018, as part of Anglicare’s Family & Life Skills Education Team he has been running courses & seminars in relationships, parenting & family life and in communicating & caring.
