Can't help but feel that those parents who sign up for a parenting workshop are likely to be those in least need of a parenting workshop.

Undoubtedly true.

Have we learnt nothing from NSC now in it for £££?

Can I advertise my own scheme for free or do I have to pay 50 notes? I'd prefer to advertise for free, to be honest.

I've only just read the thread you've referred to, and think I understand some of the comments on here better now.

The last thing I want as a Brighton fan, as a member of this board and in my volunteer role is to cause any angst. I have spoken to Bozza and did get his permission (without awareness of that thread). But if people feel put out by this thread, then please do either remove it or, as Ernest says, put it in the other stuff section.

You do not deserve the stick you have got on here, good luck with what you are doing.

I was joking btw. It was the timing of the two threads.........

It isn't - I haven't heard of Brain Gym before, it looks interesting.

Glad you're clearly not an advocate, my use of the word interesting was intended to be neutral. But those kinds of methods are a bit shocking to be honest - when you make a living out of making published research practical..

And people are charged for that service, too?

For us, an example of the kind of research we preach is professor Carol Dweck's research into growth mindsets - if you're interested.

Yes, I work in early years education, and have heard of her research which has influenced the EYFS's 'three characteristics of effective learning'. This was particularly around praising children as 'clever' vs praising children for their effort.
