Testimonial from a valued client

"Thank you so much for your support Carole -it was very beneficial to me. I will update you on our progress. Just wanted to let you know how Melanie was going. I have noticed a big improvement in her behaviour after about 4 days of not making a fuss when she doesn't do as she is asked. Thank you for your advice on that. She seems much much happier and her teacher reports are extremely positive as well. In such a short time!"

Parenting with purpose and enjoyment

Carole Carole is a Parent Educator who has had 33 years experience working with children and parents. She has 4 grown children. She has worked as a Primary Teacher for over 5.5 years, a full-time, Stay-at-home Mum for 16 years, a Parent Educator for 4 years, a Childcare Worker for 4 years and a Nanny for 3 years. She cares deeply for the well-being of all children and parents, and knows a highly effective way to raise children and adolescents so that they become happy, confident, caring, self-disciplined, independent, stable, well-mannered, competent and successful people. She wants parents to enjoy their children and to raise them in the most effective and satisfying way possible. Carole has read a vast number of books and articles related to parenting, behaviour guidance, communication and child development. Her articles can be read in Essential Baby, Swim Australia, Fit For Life Online, Family Capers, Kids in Australia, Business Mums Magazine, Babysitterdirectory online as well as in the Blog pages on this site. Carole has also been interviewed about Easier Parenting by Casper on Community Radio 3RPP fm on the Mornington Peninsula.

Needs of children and parents

Carole has expertise in child development and an excellent understanding of the specific needs of children, and parents, for nurturing, setting limits, stimulation, role modelling, positivity, communication, teaching, values, self-care and responsibility. She knows that parenting can be difficult without learning effective skills. Effective parenting does not generally come naturally as many of us previously believed. Not all parents wish to talk about their parenting issues in a group setting. Some parents are unable to commit to attending a parenting course each week. Parenting skills can also be applied to general relationships with others - family, friends and strangers.

Fun and balance

Easier Parenting is a website to help parents and carers to be supported in this vital and highly important task of raising children. It is a place to come and learn essential parenting skills, to read relevant interesting articles, to be inspired with heart-warming stories and quotes and to find out about how best to care for ourselves. Parents and carers deserve to have an enjoyable, stimulating and meaningful life while they are nurturing their loved ones. This is perfectly achievable. This site gives ideas for having fun with your children and/or your spouse/partner. It also is a resource for helping parents to achieve balance in their lives. Time management tips will also be offered.

Future plans

We plan to recommend books and other relevant parenting services and resources in the near future
