Introduction
This is a parenting workshop conducted in a small closed group (Same group of faces from the start to the end). Conducted over a period of 6 weeks of 1.5 hours each.
Origins
We are always standing on the shoulders of Giants. Why reinvent the wheel?
This program is based on Faber/Mazlish Workshops created by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish who studied with the late child psychologist, Dr. Haim Ginott.
We are basing our workshops closely on the original videos and books. We find that these materials are still very relevant today and of good quality.
In time to come, we will supplement the materials with local examples and with your feedback, we will become more localized.
We will also continue to incorporate the best research of our times.
What will you learn?
You’ll learn how to
- Motivate your child to cooperate
- Help your child manage their emotions
- Guide your child without punishment
- Train problem solving skills in your child
- Practice self-compassion
Why do you need to learn it?
You could be thinking of these right now and I absolutely agree with you.
A lot of our participants wished that they could have learnt the skills in this masterclass earlier. Life could certainly be easier if not happier and more peaceful with these skills. See what some of them said about this course here.
Since there is a course for everything; from dog training, hair dressing to medicine, some ranging from hours to years; how could it be that we expect to learn parenting just like that? Parenting, like all other skills could be learnt, evoked and shared. And by the end of it, you would be glad that you had learnt it.
What did others say about this?
situations. I loved sharing with other parents and learning from each other’s experience. — A mother of one child

What does our doctor say?

I have been practicing in Punggol, Singapore since 2014 as a family physician. We see young parents everyday with children. It truly is the bedrock of the future society of Singapore.
I have see countless parents and young children walk in and out of our consultation room. I never comment on parenting styles and skills, but I inherently can see a big disparity between parents. The disparity becomes obvious as the child grows up and it “shows” in the self confidence and the communication skills of the child.
It doesn’t have to be this way, anyone can share and pick up these skills.
I hope that we can build happier families with these programs and lay a strong foundation for a nation of confident and emotionally strong adults.

What does our psychologists say?
Our Clinical Psychologist Dr Emma Waddington Maria says:

Many of us are parents, however, not many of us feel competent as parents. Despite feeling driven to do a good job, caring deeply for our children, for many of us, the expectations of parenting feel overwhelming. Parents will often commiserate with each other on the complexities of parenting. Without having any clearer answers.
Why is it so hard? Because parenting isn’t fixed. Our children are changing every moment. Moreover, the influences on our children’s behaviours are many. There is us, parents. There are the siblings, peers, teachers, extended family. There are genetics, nutrition, biology. There is society. And now there is also social media, internet and television programmes. The list is infinite. All of this will impact our children in different ways. Every moment of the day.
So what do we do?
Thankfully, there has been decades on research on parenting. We now know a lot on what helps children develop into functional, happy and well rounded individuals. We know what makes us effective and loving parents. The ingredients that are needed are clear although the implementation isn’t always easy.
There are numerous effective approaches which all pivot around the same three areas:
- Improve the quality of the relationship with your child. Parenting wears us down. Making sure we feel close and connected to our children is very important to being an effective parent.
- Improve the communication with your child. Being able to talk to our children and have them listen is just as important to being able to listen to our children. We need to be able to communicate effectively so that we are both being heard.
- Clarify expectations and limits with your child, with love. Children need to know our limits. We need to be able to communicate these clearly and with love and kindness. Children work best when these are present.
Please contact us if you would like help in navigating the choppy waters of parenting together. We would love to have you with us!
Our Clinical Psychologist Ms Nyein Nyein says:

Parents want the best for the children. We want them to be confident, kind, happy and successful in life.
But parenting is not easy. Many parents find parenting full of contradictions. Disciplining by cane is one such example. A lot of us (especially those of us who grew up being caned) feels tempted to “whip” children into shape when they are defiant. After all, we want our children to be “well-behaved” and accepted by the society. At the same time, the same parents also wonder if caning will kill their curiosity and make them have low self esteem.
Besides handling our children’s behavior, parents also deal with self doubts. We wonder if we have been around enough, if we are giving them enough attention, and if we… you get the drift.
So how can we do it all in our human capacity, and do it happily?
With decades of research, psychologists now know a lot more about parenting than ever. This parenting master class will equip you with very useful tools to not only raise lively, successful and empathic children, but also skills to keep yourself joyful in your parenting journey.

Questions and Answers
Q: I have no time.
A: Certainly time is precious. When we are “fire-fighting”, life seems to go downhill all the time and we are surrounded by enemies on all fronts. When we reach home, our child starts responding in a way that we do not like, even though we are “fighting a war” out there for them. We often want to ask and tell them “we are working so hard because of you, and why can’t you listen?”. And when that happens, everything goes to a downward spiral.
We don’t ask for a 10,000 hours to learn this skill as Malcolm Gladwell suggested in his book “Outliers”. We only need 6 x 2 hours = 12 hours for us to become fairly competent parents (for a start). It could potentially save you a lot of time (and pain) in the long run. Just think about how many hours you spent in your life in such agony as above already.
Q: $650 is too expensive.
A: Certainly money in precious in Singapore. If I earn $10 per hour, I would have spent 65 hours of my life working just to pay for this course. Seems a bit pricey. Certainly it is. I believe the price we state is very cheap. We need to account for buying course materials, rental costs, electricity costs, website hosting costs, administrative costs and time costs of our professionals that could be earning a lot more running more profitable courses out there with less effort.
We are doing it because we believe that it would benefit you more than it will benefit us. The quoted price is mainly for recovery of operating costs.
The skills learnt is for life. The investment of the time and money will pay back many times over your whole lifetime as a parent, grandparent and (if heaven allows) great-grandparent. The results of the workshop persist for an extended period of time (as shown in research in similar workshops: we will also collect data to show you proof in time to come).
Q: There are free courses out there.
A: Certainly there are always free lunches out there. They might even come with extra carrots like religion affiliation, government agenda or publicity stunts.
For us, we are plain clinical people. There is nothing for us to “sell” or “advocate” except plain old, vanilla, shareable parenting skills. We deliver consistently good outcomes based on best clinical practices and evidences. We do not mince our words or beat about the bush. We are not affiliated (and not interested) in religious affiliation, government agenda and extra publicity as long as they do not hold up to the test of science and reason.
Q: Why is it important to take a course given by someone with a professional clinical background?
A: Our facilitators are well trained in child psychology. They spent a large part of their professional life dealing with children who are very mentally ill. They also spent all their time honing their skills in “talking” to put it in simply.
To elaborate, communicating and holding group workshops is a very intense skill that psychologists and nurse clinicians learn in their training and they spend their whole life honing these skills. It is infinitely complex and intricate as they have to “unlearn” many things and “relearn” the art of communication.
Patients who have attended different workshops will swear by the difference. One of the main perceivable difference is that facilitators with a professional clinical background will not “judge”, whereas others will tend to “colour” their opinions with their own belief systems. Try it to know the difference.
Q: Why do i need to “learn” parenting?
A: As above, there are many valuable skills that could possibly be self taught such as martial arts, driving and even flying a plane. But they can be picked up faster, saving you precious time and money if you attended a group workshop.
Also, you could already know everything, why do I need to attend this? Great, please attend and after that join our facilitator team (your precious time will be renumerated, subject to approval from our clinical team).
Q: There is a book, i can just read all about it.
A: Certainly.
Tell me, I’ll forget. Show me, I may remember. But involve me, and I’ll understand.
不闻不若闻之,闻之不若见之,见之不若知之,知之不若行之;学至于行之而止矣。–xunzi
Please go, buy and read the book here. If you attend the workshops after reading the book, you will experience a deeper level of understanding. For most people, reading a book also does not necessarily mean that we will be able to learn all the skills inside. Just like how you cannot learn gongfu from a book (unless you are zhang wu ji).
Q: My current way of parenting is working well, why do i need to learn something new?
A: Certain techniques does work well for some of the situations. But combine your existing skills with new skills, wow, just imagine what you can evolve your kids into. If you are already a great parent, feel free to pick up more skills to make you a star, an exceptional parent.
And again, as mentioned above, we are in need of facilitators.
Q: What if it doesn’t work?
A: That is a real valid concern. What if spending all the time, money and effort and we do not get the outcomes as expected. Please speak to our facilitators and also share your concerns during the group workshops. Sometimes, it just takes time to undo years of damage, sometimes, we could have misunderstood the skills taught and occasionally, we could uncover deeper mental or physical health issues that are beyond the scope of these workshop. So, please, speak to us.
Q: Who is the facilitator?
A: As above
Q: What if after i paid, i cannot attend? What if i cannot attend a session?
A: Cancellation Policies are found here.
Q: Can my partner attend for free?
A: As much as we love to, but as each individual parent is unique with his/her own style and temperament, we need to charge each person.
Q: Who can benefit from these courses?
A: Potentially anybody, even people with no children. The benefits might be less significant if your child happens to have a real medical condition medical treatment or psychotherapy might work better.
Q: Can i bring my child? (Do you provide childcare services?)
A: Sorry we do not.
Q: Are there religious content?
A: We are secular and non sectarian.

What’s the big idea? (The full juicy details)
This program is based on principles of child psychology.
If we just look around us and observe little children, we see them in all sorts of actions and emotions. At the same time, they are constantly experiencing intricate feedback of their behavior. Their brain is receiving two main types of feedback. One type of feedback is natural feedback. For example, a child experiences pain when he touches a hot iron.
The second type of feedback is the feedback given to them by the people around. For example, a child might be told that he touched the iron because “just curious” about the iron or “stupid”. Although we cannot change the natural consequences, we can do a lot in helping them deal with natural consequences and guide them in problem solving by tailoring the second type of feedback.
Through this course, we aim to learn as a group how to interact with children in a way that builds their trust in themselves so that they could handle difficult situations in life. We aim for our children to handle the whole range of human emotions that they experience, so that they will not shrivel under strong negative emotions of anger, fear, loneliness and shame. Instead, they will embrace these emotions as being a part of human, and hence they will learn to embrace themselves, instead of rejecting and criticizing themselves when they are in trouble. Once our children learn how to make room for their emotions, most of the battle of life is won.
First chapter – Acknowledging emotions
Emotional awareness in children is found to be related to their emotional and social competence (Fonagy & Jurist, 2004). Mother’s actions of emotional validation significantly predict child’s ability to accurately recognize their emotional experiences (Lambie & Lindberg, 2016).
A validating response occurs when a person expresses his or her private experience to another person and this expression is met with understanding, legitimacy, and acceptance of this experience (Linehan, 1997). Emotional validation significantly reduces stress whether stress is monitored by self report emotional stress ratings or physiological symptoms of heart rate and skin conductance (Shenk & Fruzzetti, 2011). Validating responses do not seek to change an emotional experience. Instead it seeks to highlight a person’s emotional experience and facilitate acceptance of the emotions. Once we are able to identify an emotional experience, it facilitate emotional regulation through several avenues. Firstly, just the act of acknowledging naturally reduces intensity of the emotions. Secondly, it opens up a space where a person can regulate the emotions through various coping strategies. Parents naturally reinforce positive emotions such as love, happiness, excitement. However, parents struggle with children’s negative emotions such as anger, tiredness, shame, sadness.
Parents tends to invalidate negative emotions, often out of good intentions and lack of knowledge. Invalidating response is one in which expression of private experiences is punished or trivialized. In extreme form of invalidation, the expression of private experiences are met by erratic, inappropriate, and extreme responses (Linehan, 1997). When a child is sad, angry or afraid, parents tend to tell the children not to feel in that particular way. Though these actions are intended to make the child feel more positive, the effect is the opposite. People feel negative emotions more intensely and for a longer duration when expression of their experiences are met with invalidation (Shenk & Fruzzetti, 2011). In fact, validating responses lead to significantly reduced distress in people under the same circumstances.
In this course, we will learn to acknowledge and name those emotions for our children so that children will be soothed as well as learn how to soothe themselves when they are weighed down by the negative emotions.
Second Chapter – Engaging cooperation
There are many pitfalls parents fall into when making children do what they should be doing. Frustration naturally builds up in parents when children do not listen to them. The result often include threats, name-calling, being sarcastic, predicting their future negatively and just simply giving up on making the child continue with the task he or she is supposed to do. In this session, we will learn effective and empowering way of communication with our children when it comes to making them do what they are supposed to do.
Third Chapter – Alternatives to punishment
Punishment sends to children the idea that only punishment can make them better people. As they grow up, this kind of mindset can lead to self punishment and self blame in the face of difficulties. Instead, we want to impart to children the ability to come up with solutions when some of their actions have caused negative consequences to other people. In this way, children will believe that as inevitable as the mistakes are in life, they will also believe in their ability to make amends and resolve the situation.
Fourth Chapter – Encouraging autonomy
A child who believes that he can carry out a task successfully from the beginning to the end will take on tasks more willingly and persist in the face of difficulties. Parents can nurture these traits by encouraging autonomy. Interfering, giving advice, blaming and taking over half way does not encourage children complete the task on their own. But giving a child full ownership of the tasks at hand will. In this chapter, parents will learn how to encourage autonomy at different stages of a task.
Fifth Chapter – Praise
Praise is important to develop children’s self esteem. But praise can have unexpected outcomes. The child will doubt the praiser, he might become afraid of not being able to live up to current standard that is being praised as excellent, or praise can evoke denial from the child. In this chapter, parents will learn how to praise in a way that the children will feel accomplished, feel encourage to continue what they are doing and accept appreciations.
Sixth Chapter – Freeing children from playing roles
Giving a label to a child is like drawing a map for them to follow. While negative labels such as “moody” just makes a child believe that he is “moody” person, positive labels such as “smart” makes a child question whether he is “smart” when he find the task at hand difficult. There are other unhelpful effects of labeling a child. How then can we raise a child to explore with curiosity wherever he is, whatever tasks he needs to handle at any time? This chapter will teach you how to help children relate to their experiences of failure, achievement, disappointments, relationships and conflicts without labeling them.
Seventh Chapter – Collaborative problem-solving
Parents and children often want different things in the same situation. When a child wants to play game immediately after school, a parent might want the child to accomplish other tasks first. When it is easy for parents to demand that the child do things in a particular way, it can result in massive temper tantrums. In this chapter, we will learn to collaboratively problem-solve with the child to come to a solution that is acceptable to both parties.
Eighth Chapter – Self-compassion
Being a parent is not easy. We are often the harshest critics of ourselves. Knowing how to hold yourself gently through this journey of parenting is an essential skill for every parent.
