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.

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!

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.

Parent Gym has been a great success in our school. All of the parents who joined on the first week, completed the full programme, it was wonderful that there were no drop outs part way through. Vicky, the coach, was great - very organised and approachable. She clearly built up a good rapport with the parents. The parents who attended reported to have learned a lot, and made good friends along the way. They will be meeting monthly to keep in touch and talk about what they learned through Parent Gym. We would recommend the programme to other schools, it's a great way to bring parents together and support them in parenting their children.

Over my first three terms I very quickly realised that the Parent Gym programme makes a massive difference; I've had laughter, tears and parents saying that their lives have been changed. It's been a wonderful privilege to be able to make a difference to people and to broaden my mind and stretch my skills. A whole new career has opened up for me as a result so joining Parent Gym turned out to be one of the best decisions I've ever made!
