Customer Reviews
Excellent material
(Review written for 'Putting Parenting to Bed - Study Guide')
This parenting course is thought provoking, realistic and practical. It is flexible enough for you to tailor to your group in terms of presentation style and the time you have available. We only had 30-40 mins each week with our Toddler Group mums and while more time would obviously be great, those minutes were still really worthwhile. ![]()
