Cross-Cultural Parenting Workshop
Building Connection, Confidence & Calm at Home

Parenting in a new country can be both exciting and challenging.
You love your children deeply—but sometimes differences in culture, expectations, and behaviours can make parenting feel overwhelming. You are not alone.

This workshop is designed especially for ethnic parents from diverse language groups. Together, we’ll explore practical ways to handle challenging behaviour, encourage good choices, and strengthen family bonds—all within a New Zealand context, while respecting your cultural perspectives.
