This seminar is designed to support parents who have a child with big emotions.   As well as this, come along to find out how to look after yourself and your children’s wellbeing when life is busy or times are tough. 

This is a chance to hear some parenting tips, tricks and to ask two professionals any parenting question you’ve ever wanted! 

Dr. Dean Sutherland and Anna Mowat have a long history working with families. Together they provide practical, funny and heartfelt seminars for parents on the things that are often tricky to talk about.
