60 minute high-energy experience for groups of up to 100
It can be hard to be the parent you’d love to be. But there are some key choices you can make to give you more control over the moments that matter.
Research shows that nearly half of all parents feel that they’re not spending enough time with their children. Even when they do, many are distracted, exhausted or simultaneously working through a household to-do list.

I really enjoyed the sessions and these changed a lot of what I did before….. I shouted, I didn’t listen to my children and there was a lot wrong in our house. My son refused to do his homework. Now I am less stressed, my son does his homework on time, my daughter plays with her brother which never happened before. I am so proud of what we have achieved and so happy.
