Parenting with Purpose

Course Description

Parenting with Purpose is an 8-session journey designed to equip parents with the tools to nurture their children’s hearts, minds, and souls. Drawing on timeless lessons from the Qur’an and Sunnah and integrating insights from developmental psychology and neuroscience, this course will help you create a nurturing environment that fosters love, discipline, resilience, and spirituality.

Whether you’re a parent of young children, teenagers, or preparing for parenthood, this course will empower you to align your parenting with the Prophetic model while benefiting from the latest research in child psychology and mindful living.

Walk away with a renewed vision of parenting as an act of worship, a toolkit of practical techniques, and a home environment that nurtures both, the dunya and akhirah.
