Free webinar with parenting expert, author and TV host Dr Justin Coulson:
From surviving to thriving- tools for parenting in a modern world

We’ve thankfully moved beyond the era of authoritarian parenting, where fear and obedience were the primary tools of discipline. But in the wake of this shift, many parents find themselves adrift in a sea of uncertainty. If not strict control and punishment, then what? How do we guide our children effectively while fostering their independence, resilience, and emotional wellbeing? This is the question at the heart of modern parenting. 

Join renowned parenting expert Dr Justin Coulson for this exclusive Catholic Schools Maitland-Newcastle webinar, From surviving to thriving- tools for parenting in a modern world in which he will challenge conventional parenting wisdom and equip you with effective, science-backed strategies. 

By registering for this webinar you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your child’s needs and learn how to create an environment that supports their growth, fostering a more positive family dynamic.
