ParentZone Pods – Friendly advice whenever you need it

Based on more than 20 years of experience, six new episodes of ParentZone Pods give busy parents quick and helpful advice that they can use straight away.

ParentZone Pods co-host Laurie Arrowsmith said ParentZone has helped many thousands of parents feel more confident and capable through its in-person sessions.

“The pandemic has caused a lot of stress and anxiety, and with children at home for long periods it can also turn the home into a bit of a pressure cooker,” she said.

“Lots of people are reaching out to us, but they aren’t always able to get to the sessions, so we decided to put together the ParentZone Pods series so that anyone could access strategy whenever they need it most.”

Anglicare Victoria recognises that parents are busy, so all of our ParentZone Pods episodes get to the point quickly. Each episode is 10-20 minutes, just right for listening in the car on the way to do the shopping or pick up the children.

The topics covered in the first season are some of the most-requested topics addressed in ParentZone sessions, including:

• How to stop yelling at your kids
• Sibling rivalry
• Getting my children to listen
• Dealing with your kids’ anxiety
• How to respond to my kids’ behaviour
• Family meetings everyone will love.

“Parenting is the hardest and most important job you’ll ever have,” Laurie said. “Listen in to ParentZone Pods to help you feel back in control again as you form a closer and happier relationship with your children.”
