PARENT GYM ONLINE RESOURCES
We know that parenting while juggling everything else is tough right now.
In normal times, Parent Gym’s school-based interactive sessions help build the skills and confidence of parents to create a calm home environment and raise happy children.
But with schools still closed, Parent Gym are developing some short online eWorkouts, offering quick, practical techniques to help create a happier family during these tricky times.
The workouts are free and fun and take only a few minutes to do on your phone, tablet or laptop – perfect for when you are making a cup of tea.
The first module - Keep Talking, looks at ways to get our families communicating.
The second – just released – gives tips for helping bring some Love and Harmony to family life in lockdown.
All of the workouts stand-alone and can be done in any order. To download the workouts click, pop the Parent Gym Keep Talking and Love and Harmony modules in your shopping basket and ‘purchase’ the eWorkouts (it won’t cost you a thing…).
