Description

While we do not receive a Parenting Manual when our children are born, and we are essentially all Learner Drivers, this Parenting Road Code is designed to enhance the innate skills you already have as a parent. As a Defensive Driving Course is to an existing driver, this online training will give you a toolkit to support you to be the best and most confident parent you can be.

This course will be useful for people thinking about becoming parents, new parents, parents in the middle of lots to do, grandparents, early childhood teachers, social workers, in fact anyone who wants to support children to grow to be  competent and wonderful human beings.
