parentSCOPE parent-coaching business launch with Kerryn McCann

parentSCOPE was launched by our patron, Kerryn MCann, Commonwealth Games gold-medallist marathon runner and mother of two young children, on Mother’s Day Sunday 13th May 2007.

Our launch was part of the Illawarra Innovation Showcase and Australian Innovation Festival. We were invited to be part of these prestigious events because of the innovative approach we have to working with families and other professionals, using coaching not just education.

parentSCOPE’s launch took place at Illawarra Live Steamers miniature railway park in keeping with our theme of “COACHING PARENTS TO STAY ON TRACK”. Over 200 people enjoyed the rides, book readings and sing-a-longs and listened to Kerryn’s personal story of how our book “Salurri and The Way Train” can make a difference in the lives of parents and their children.

“Getting Josie, my little three year old, dressed into shorts and shoes suitable for riding the trains today could have been a struggle, because she wanted to wear a pretty dress like mummy. But rather than losing my cool I thought about the girls’ book Salurri and The Way Train and thought: What would Salurri say? ... Listen and understand. So I said to Josie ‘How about we put your dress on over the top?’ Tantrum avoided! parentSCOPE’s message for parents is a practical reminder for all of us to look at the way we are being with our kids.”
Kerryn McCann, parentSCOPE patron.
