Investing in our future through the power of parenting - because helping one child echoes throughout the world.

Nationwide

I’m a solo mum to my six-year-old son, Leo. From the day he was born, it’s just been the two of us — and I’ve poured everything I have into being the best parent I can be.

I work full-time, I show up every day, and I give my all to raising Leo into a kind, resilient, and capable human being. That’s the point of parenting, isn’t it? To put the best possible human out into the world.

But here’s the thing: parenting doesn’t come with a manual. There are moments where I feel I’m slipping, moments where I wish I had someone in my corner, guiding me through the hard questions.

That’s why I wish to enrol in a Foundations of Cooperation Parenting Course — a six-week online programme led by experts in child development. For $650 NZD it’s not just a course; it’s a lifetime resource. I can share my learnings with others in our community too!

Any issue that comes up, I’ll have evidence-based, practical tools to fall back on. That kind of guidance would create a more confident, calmer, and happier parent. And ultimately, it means Leo gets the very best chance to grow into the incredible human he can be.

Leo is a wonderful kid who deserves every opportunity to thrive. I’ve always given him everything I can — and this is one more piece of the puzzle.

By helping us, you’re not just investing in my son — you’re investing in the future. Because helping one child, through the power of parenting, sends out ripples that can touch the whole world. 🌍💙
