Over 40% of the UK workforce have dependent children.
2 out of 3 working mums lack confidence at work and at home.
30% of UK fathers work more than 50 hours a week.

Smart companies use Business Coaches for solutions, action and support. Parent Coaching is proving to be a valuable and unique way for employers to support working parents in the most important and challenging job they do - being a parent.

Every parent feels the conflict between the challenges of work and home and however professional we are, when our home life pressures become too great, our work inevitably suffers. What do working parents need when they come to work having just had a row about homework, or worrying about their teenagers, or having been up all night with a sick child? They need to feel really confident about their role as a parent, and to be free to get on with their job to the best of their ability.

Schools

Parenting People regularly works with schools running workshops and courses to support the parent/school/child relationship. What would it be like if your parents could say as this parent did “I think it’s fantastic our school runs a parenting course to help any of us find better ways to bring up teenagers.”

What kind of parenting support would you like to see on offer in your school? Contact us for help.
