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.

Parent Gym engages parents in a fun process that opens their eyes and minds to new ways of parenting, and supports them to ‘give it a go back at home’. This approach not only lets the techniques speak for themselves, it also builds parents’ confidence in themselves and strengthens their family relationships in the process.

I love Parent Gym and it’s the highlight of my week when I am delivering it.

Parents reported they felt confident in parenting their children when it came to implementing strategies for behaviour. One parent said "I've learnt how to love and respect my child. This I never had as a child myself which made it difficult for me to show love and affection. I now love and cherish every moment I have and feel empowered." Parents are telling other parents within the school community about the programme and the impact it has had. Teachers have reported children whose parents attend the course are presenting calm and increased sustained concentration. Parents are also eager to become involved with their child's education.

It changed some of my parents' lives for the better and they also reconnected with their children. Definitely, 100% run the courses. Parent Gym is vital and all parents should be doing it! You learn so much and better yourself as well as your family!

"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.
