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 quality assurance processes outlined and evidenced are excellent, from recruitment, training, delivery and continuous assessment. Parent Gym plainly take quality assurance exceptionally seriously and have strong processes in place to ensure every parent receives a similar high quality learning experience.

Coming to Parent Gym was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The content of the course was spot on. As a parent there are always things to learn or be reminded of, and to me that is exactly what Parent Gym is about- it gave me the tools to make life easier. Now when I want to implement a rule or find an activity to do with him I consult my Parent Gym Magazines. To all parents who are thinking of joining please do as it's very rewarding. I cannot believe I completed the course with an 11 week old baby in tow- that's how comfortable and inclusive Parent Gym was. And now, even though the course is finished, the group still meets. Thank you all for putting together such a wonderful programme.

Parent Gym taught me that you don’t need to spend money to have fun with your kids. The first thing we do when we get in from school is sit around the dining room table and chat, so that we can all hear about each other’s day. I have also changed my attitude to cooking- before I wouldn’t have even let them in the kitchen while I was preparing food, but now I get them to help me chop vegetables and it has really helped with their attitude towards eating healthily.

Claire Katzenellenbogen, director of Parent Gym, which runs parenting courses, emphasises the importance of developing critical thinking: “The biggest gift we can give our children is to help them think critically about what it all means. That the beautiful photos they see on Instagram might look real, but have often been doctored.”
