Parenting Courses
Georges River Lifecare is currently running 1-2-3 magic parenting workshops. These are a three session program aimed at parents with children 2-12yrs old.
The course is designed to assist parents to manage their child's difficult behaviour such as tantrums, yelling, fighting and arguing.
You will also learn practical skills to develop your child’s positive behaviour and help make parenting an enjoyable experience.
Alpha Marriage Course
The Marriage Course is a seven week program developed by Nicky and Cilla Lee of Holy Trinity Brompton, London. The course is for any married couple keen to build their relationship. It doesn't matter if you have been married for a matter of months or 30 years or more, whether you are 20 or 60 or more so long as you want to work together to grow in your marriage.If you have a good marriage the course will help you make it even better. The course consists of a video presentation/talk on the topic for the evening, which normally lasts for about 30 minutes. During the talk there are exercises for you to do together as a couple in privacy. Topics include: Building Strong Foundations, The Art of Communication, Resolving Conflict, The Power of Forgiveness, Parents and In-Laws, Good Sex and Love in Action.
