How It Works

This is a guided, experience-based course designed to support real learning, reflection, and connection — all in a manageable rhythm for busy parents. Here’s what you can expect:

---

Step 1: Watch the Pre-Recorded Video Lessons

You’ll receive access to a set of short, practical video modules (each 4–10 minutes long), professionally presented by parenting expert Hettie Brittz.
Across the course, I will give you a guideline of the videos that you need to watch in a two week timeframe. In total it is around 5 hours of content per age-specific track — accessible anytime, at your own pace.

---

Step 2: Reflect with Workbooks & Personal Guides

The course comes with downloadable PDFs that include:

• Simple summaries of key ideas
• Reflection prompts
• Action planning tools to help you apply what you’re learning in real life

These materials help deepen your insight and personalize the experience for your parenting context.

Step 3: Join the Live Zoom Sessions

Every two weeks, you’ll meet with your small group cohort and me (your facilitator) for a live Zoom session.
These 120-minute zoom sessions are where the learning comes alive — we unpack the video content together, share stories, ask questions, and learn from one another’s experiences.

It’s about real connection and growth — not just information.
