Do both parents need to attend the course together?To have a healthy and happy family, it does take a lot of effort from both parents. It is always better to have a united front when implementing these tools to see effective results. Because we strongly encourage both parents to attend together, we are giving a 50% discount for one spouse if you both sign up together. Just click on Couple Ticket (qty: 1) on checkout. However, we do understand that there might be unique circumstances, and only 1 parent is able to make it. No problem! We commend your effort and greatly welcome you!
-
I am a single parent. Can I still attend this course?A big resounding YES! The principles and tools learnt in this course can be just as effective if you are parenting alone. There are even some tips for single parents included in the participant manual.
-
I am a grandparent who wants to know more so that I can help raise my grandchildren. Can I attend this course?In today's times, it is not uncommon for grandparents to be the main caregivers for the their grandchildren. As a caregiver, you may find the tools and principles in the course very helpful in raising your grandchildren in this new era. It sure would be a good idea to take this course to build your own knowledge.
-
Can my child/children be with me during the sessions?The course is meant only for parents. In order for you to have complete focus and get the most of the sessions, we recommend that you make arrangements for your child/children to be cared for during that period. However, there may be circumstances where that might not be possible (e.g. lockdown). With that, we have had parents who successfully managed to get through the sessions with their children around. Just needs a little bit more planning (planned nap time, activities to occupy them, snacks, etc) and prepared mindset.
-
This sounds like a course that would be suitable for someone I know. Can I give this course as a gift to someone?That is a very sweet and thoughtful idea! All you have to do is to register the person's info in the registration form, but put your own email so we can send you the payment details to complete the registration. Kindly indicate to us in the space given on the registration form that you are giving this course as a gift to someone and provide the actual email of the person in that message. It's as simple as that!
-
What if I cannot make it for one or some of the days of the course?One of the true beauty and treasure in this course is found in the discussions and sharing during the classroom sessions. We would strongly encourage you to attend all the sessions for the course, but if for some very important reason, you are not able to, you will need to catch up on the reading for the session on your own, as well as do the homework for the week. The facilitators will be available for you if you have any questions.
-
Who are the trainers of the course?Each course will be facilitated by trained personnel authorised by the Parenting Place, New Zealand.
-
Will there be homework or assignments given?The tools and principles taught in the course are really very effective! But they are only effective if they are put into practice. After each session, we believe that you'll be excited to practice what you've learnt on your own child. It's always encouraging when you come back with reports on how it went for you.

WHAT THEY SAY
"This course was introduced by one of our close friends, we weren’t sure if we could commit 2 hours every weekend, uninterrupted. Where do we “park” the kids?
We checked with our parents if it was possible to stand in 2 hours every weekend for 6-8 weeks and they gladly said yes! So long story short we travelled back to our parent’s place in Banting every week for the course.
Plus point, we had our precious “date” time at a café nearby - just us, for a few hours talking and strategizing after every session on how we would be able to improve and grow as a family.
After the sessions, we would bring the kids to Morib beach just 15mins drive away to enjoy the sand and the sun! Totally a win-win for us all.
Trust us, most of us have been using some of the tools but didn’t realize it and unaware of the best way to deploy them with the kids. This course has given us a big picture, a mind map, GPS to navigate the upbringing of our kids with the right attitude, love and grace.
It’s been an incredible journey this past 8 weeks with the Toolbox course, that we have found a way with parenting, and we’ve been truly grateful for this experience. We’re still growing as a family and the best part is we are having a lot of fun while putting those lessons to practice"
