At MacKillop, we understand that parenting can be challenging, and that every family’s journey looks different. Our parenting webinars support parents and carers to strengthen relationships with their children and navigate some of the common challenges that arise at different stages of parenting.
Each webinar is educational, evidence‑informed and approximately one hour long. They’re designed to be practical and accessible, allowing you to learn at your own pace, in your own time, and in a way that feels manageable for you.

The New Age Parent 'Managing Screen Time'
For parents/carers of children aged 3 - 11 years.
This webinar explores how to incorporate technology into your household without it taking over play, connection and sleep time.

Discover how to keep screens from taking over and transition away from screens without the meltdowns.
The Informed Parent 'Managing Challenging Behaviour'

Finding your home to be a battle ground with acting out, tantrums or uncooperative behaviour?

Moving away from punishment and towards fostering learning, this webinar explores the ‘why’ of children’s behaviour, leading us to ‘how’ we can best respond.
