Encouraging better behaviour in children: webinar
It’s good for children to learn how to behave well. Behaving well helps children get along with others, make friends, and learn at preschool and school. This is all essential to children’s healthy development.
Also, when children behave well, your family life is likely to be calmer and more harmonious – and that’s good for everyone!
Positive behaviour management can make it easier for your child to behave well. Positive behaviour management starts with understanding why your child behaves in particular ways and working out how to respond positively and constructively. This will help you encourage better behaviour and combat difficult behaviour over time.
This webinar explains how to get started with positive behaviour management. It looks at:
- why difficult behaviour happens
- how to decrease difficult behaviour
- how to increase the behaviour that works in your family
- how to react to difficult behaviour so it’s less likely to happen next time.
In the webinar, you’ll be able to ask questions, share experiences, and hear other parents’ experiences and ideas.
When: July 2, 2021, 8 pm AEDT
Duration: 40 minutes, followed by a 20-minute question and answer session

Baby sleep and settling: about this webinar
The sleep and settling webinars provide strategies to support better sleep in children.
You’re invited to join a free, live webinar on baby sleep and settling. If you have a baby aged 6-12 months and you’d like some advice about sleep and settling for your child, this webinar might be for you.
At around six months, your baby will develop lots of new abilities that can affect sleep. For example, at this age babies gain the ability to keep themselves awake. At the same time, they’re learning many exciting new skills like rolling and crawling. They might also start experiencing separation anxiety, which is when they get upset because mum or dad isn’t there.
The combination of being able to do exciting things and being able to stay awake means your baby might wake more often during the night and be more reluctant to go back to sleep.
This webinar:
- looks at how baby development at 6-12 months can affect sleep
- offers tips for developing new routines, using settling strategies and getting to know your child.
In the webinar, you’ll be able to ask questions, share experiences, and hear other parents’ experiences and ideas.
When: August 2, 2020, 8 pm AEDT
Duration: 40 mins, followed by a question and answer session
Parenting pre-teens positively: webinar
Our webinars on teen behaviour also help you understand your teen’s development and improve your relationship.

This webinar looks at:
- the changes your child is going through – and how your parenting might need to change
- effective communication with your child
- limits and boundaries for your child
- your child’s journey to independence
- the importance and experience of the transition from primary to secondary school.
