Parenting Manifesto, Parent Manifesto, The Parent Manifesto

Book / E-book / Online program

Do you feel pressure to raise amazing kids or wonder whether you’re bringing up your child/ren the ‘right’ way?

Would you like to improve your relationships with your children, partner and other loved ones to help you really enjoy being a parent?

Have you ever tried parenting approaches that sound great in theory but just don’t seem to work in your family?

Raising kids is the most enjoyable job in the world...or is it?

As parents we now have access to unlimited information and services, providing the potential to make our lives easier and more enjoyable. So why, then, is research showing us that we’re the unhappiest of all Australians?

Many of us aren’t enjoying what life has to offer. We’re worrying too much and we don’t feel confident that we’re doing the right things to raise capable, confident and loving children. After all, what is the right way?

The Parent Manifesto will show you that the right way is your way.

What is The Parent Manifesto?

The Parent Manifesto is an online parenting program based around a book written by parenting author and psychologist, Jodie Benveniste. The Parent Manifesto book was written with the help of 80 parents who provided input and feedback via a private Facebook Group.

As many of the Facebook Group will tell you, The Parent Manifesto helps to:

> Stop feeling guilty or frustrated when other people’s parenting approaches don’t work for your family

> Confidently create a stable and loving life for your family

> Develop your own set of family ‘guidelines’ to live by that fit with the unique way your family works

> Strengthen your relationships with your partner, family and friends

> Develop your ability to stay strong when things are not going so well

> Stay on track during the process because you’re able to connect with a ‘community’ of like-minded parents and have access to the program’s author: parenting expert, psychologist and bestselling author, Jodie Benveniste

Have you ever read a great book, then forgotten everything you read?

The Parent Manifesto is more than a book! It’s an online program that you work through at your own pace, with the support of other parents in the same position as you. You’ll also have a direct communication line into the program’s author for when you have burning questions.

'The community has been very supportive and being able to share and offer opinions in a non-judgemental and supportive environment has been invaluable. It has also been great to see how other people have interpreted the book and the tools it provides and uses them in real life.' Erika Weatherstone

'The book is like working through a workshop on parenting with Jodie, it is enabling, nuturing and structured, everything so many of us need.' Shirley McCoy

This parenting approach is custom-made for you because you create it.

The Parent Manifesto program breaks new ground, helping you create your own parenting approach based on your values, beliefs, and everything that’s important to your family.

It’s not a set of rigid rules to try and fit your family around. Instead, working within the framework of three key ingredients: love, boundaries and consistency, this program helps you decide on the core values that you want your children to learn and live by. When you’re parenting according to what you believe, your confidence grows and your children’s behaviour improves.

'I love that it is so unique and not telling you what you should or shouldn't be doing. It is a tool to help you be the parent you want to be, whatever style that may be. I already plan to give it to friends as presents.' Megan Oliver

'It (The Parent Manifesto) resonated with me as, unlike many other parenting books, it encouraged you to parent from within your heart, taking into account where you have come from as a person. The exercises to assist in creating the manifesto were fantastic.'
Faye Padmore

'It is a good tool, and I like that you can take or leave what is relevant to you and where you are at the moment... It is also something I can re-visit as my situation and challenges change.' Toni Duka

'For once a book that empowers, encourages and leaves its readers (parents!) feeling positive about their parenting instead of deflated that they can’t live up to all that’s expected of them. Thank you for this book! I’m sure it’s going to make a huge difference to a lot of people!' Kristie Visser.
