From the Programme
What Parents Say
“You’ll get very practical advice from an expert who has lived it with his own family. I feel much more equipped to manage what’s coming as my children get older.”
Niamh
Scoil Mhuire, Griffith Avenue
“It’s practical and down to earth. It reassured me that our approach is on the right track and helped me feel more confident about the future.”
Aoife

“It gave me practical tools I could use straight away at home. I’ve even changed the language and approach we use around screen time.”
