Community Parenting Events

Calender of parenting events

Being a parent is a tough job, but thankfully everyone realizes this. We are fortunate enough, here in Dubai, to have various parenting events that take place on a regular basis. Some are educational in purpose and others are more supportive in nature. I will post monthly what events I know of and if you have any to add, please let me know.

From mealtime tantrums to supermarket meltdowns, from bedtime dramas to outright disobedience, Stepping Stones Triple P helps parents handle the everyday issues that can make family life stressful.
What is Stepping Stones Triple P?
Stepping Stones gives parents the skills to raise happy, confident children and to build stronger family relationships. It also helps parents manage problem behaviour and developmental issues common in children with disabilities. With more than 30 years of ongoing research, Triple P has been found to work – regardless of culture, country or individual situation. It has helped more than six million children and their families in more than 20 countries around the world. Stepping Stones Triple P is appropriate for parents of all children – the strategies learnt can be used across all cultures and abilities.
