Studies have shown that how a mother behaves and interacts with their child at a young age directly influences how children will act towards others throughout childhood and adulthood.

Some principles that our sessions focus on include:

 
• Teaching your kids the value of respect by taking the actions towards being a good role model;

• Your child will learn about male/female  relationships by observing you, it is important she sees you showing care and respect for everyone in the family;

• Your child will watch you and often copy your actions. This is how they learn about male/female relationships, friendships and their role in the community and family.
