Approachable Parenting - 5 Pillars of Parenting

Approachable Parenting - 5 Pillars of Parenting Approachable Parenting- Guiding BAME families to better parenting. We offer Doulas, Sparklers, and a range of services to support you on parenting journey.

5 Pillars of Parenting programmes are parenting courses drawing on psychological and Islamic principles. The fundamental difference is that throughout our courses the centrality of the family in Islam and the importance of parenting is recognized. It presents parenting as a blessing and a responsibility upon parents, a worship that they can be rewarded for. For example the concepts of thankfulne

ss and repentance in Islam are incorporated into the programme. Our services include:
Pre-Marriage, Marriage and Relationship Coaching
Pregnancy - 3 years
Parenting for 4-11 years
Parenting forTeenage
Train the trainer

The courses are delivered over 2 hrs per week and last for 8 week each. Throughout the course parents evaluate their progress and report the positive changes both to themselves and their families. Positive outcomes:
- improve communication with your child
- parenting techniques
- understanding your child better
- improve listening and communication skills
- helping your child to learn
- reducing difficult behaviour
- being more affectionate and merciful
- being a positive role model for your child
