Family life isn’t always a walk in the park. Children don’t come with instruction manuals, marriages don’t come with extended guarantees, and families aren’t offered on ‘try before you buy’ offers. Life, like a garden, is full of sunshine and rain – both essential to help it flourish.
Survive and Thrive
Most of us learn the lessons of family life as we go along, but often, by the time we’ve learnt some of those lessons, it’s too late to put them into practice. It’s true of relationships with our partners as well.
But life doesn’t have to be that way. Rob Parsons is coming to a city near you to share key principles of family life. Whatever the size and shape of your family – and whether just now it’s a haven of tranquility or full of storms – this evening will help you to improve and strengthen your family life.
Why Should I Come to the Seminar?
Come to strengthen your family in the good times and help protect it in the storms.
This evening will be full of positive encouragement, enthusiasm and practical ideas which can work whatever the size and shape of your family – and we’ll have a few laughs along the way too.
Some topics Rob will cover:
Three golden keys to protect your family
Why some ways of parenting work best
What happens when “we don’t feel in love anymore”
Handling the testing child
The real cost of an affair
How your children will judge you when they are grown
In-laws, outlaws, and distant aunties – surviving and thriving in the extended family
“Rob’s events… are evidence-based,
hugely entertaining, accessible and practical,
but above all life-changing.”

"Once described by the The Daily Mail in Britain as “the man who reinvented fatherhood” (Rob says that when his own kids read the quote, they “fell about laughing”), Rob is particularly passionate about helping parents relate to their children, particularly their teenagers. His writing on this topic often reflects what he considers are areas where he feels he could have done better in the fatherhood department. “Sometimes when children ask us to do something with them now, we say we’ll do it later. Then ‘later’ never comes. Eventually the kids just stop asking,” he says. “Fathers all over the world say to me that they are going to make more time for the families…then they turn 65 and wonder where their lives went.”
