About Parenting on the Run
A poignant, fun and interactive workshop to help pre- and primary school parents with work-life balance. Discover how to stay connected to your children despite your busyness through the art of being truly present.
Parents today are busy. Being able to parent creatively – on the run – makes your parenting journey easier and much more fun. Come and learn how to cheat time in this interactive one and a half hour workshop. Leave armed with dozens of practical ideas for converting what you would normally consider wasted time with your children, into quality time. Nikki Bush will show you how time spent in the car, doing household activities or waiting for appointments can be so valuable to both you and your child. She will also include her ever-popular suggestions on toys to pack for travelling, or when you are simply on the run. Connecting and communicating your child can be so easy.
