Six-week programme

Parent Gym is a programme made up of six two-hour sessions, with ‘missions’ to complete between sessions. Each programme has up to twenty parents and one Parent Gym coach.

The Parent Gym programme has been designed by leading psychologists, drawing on parenting research. All sessions are designed to be highly interactive and participative.

The programme allows parents the fantastic chance to make connections and establish a bonding network, something which I feel no other programme would allow.

My children are 6 and 8 so I have also had some problems with sibling rivalry, but Parent Gym has helped me to make a discipline system, so that they always know what will happen when they fight. I now also make sure that I spend a specific amount of alone time with each child, so that they both feel important and it has really helped to stop with their fighting and make the house a much calmer place.

We have been running Parent Gym at Kensington for a number of years now. The programme has transformed the lives of countless families. The approach is clear and well-structured. Training for my staff has been excellent. We have found it to have greater impact than ... other programmes aimed at supporting parents. If you are looking to target hard-to-reach parents and want to make a difference for them and their children, this approach is definitely worth investigating further.

I love delivering this programme. The feedback from parents who have taken part has been very positive and encouraging to other parents. 100% of them have felt that they and their children have benefited from taking part.

"The level of change for
parenting variables and
mental well-being is
impressive"

Our programme has been developed by leading psychologists to address six parenting priorities: communication, love, managing behaviour, health, learning and handling conflict.

Parent Gym has been independently evaluated by four universities since 2010.
