ADULT GROUP PARENTING - RAISING GREAT KIDS
Parenting is rewarding, but it isn’t always easy. If you care for a child aged 5–12 years and sometimes feel unsure about how best to respond to big emotions or challenging behaviours, our Raising Great Kids program may be a helpful next step.
This 10-session parenting program is delivered by the clinical team at Sydney Children’s Practice. Developed from an established, evidence-based framework, the group gives parents and caregivers practical tools, clear guidance, and the confidence to support their children’s emotional and behavioural development.
Led by experienced child psychologists at our award-winning psychology practice, the group combines proven, evidence-based strategies with real-world examples that make sense in everyday family life. You’ll also have the chance to connect with other parents in a supportive, inclusive space, knowing you’re not alone on the journey.
