Requirements

• There are no special requirements for this course, not even to be a parent yet, because there are quite a few questions and answers not necessarily related to one's children, but to one's own childhood. For example why we don't remember things from our early childhood, and how those things influence who we are now. Moreover, how can we start digging for those and wounds well hidden.

Target audience

• This course adresses parents in general, and it is especially dedicated to parents who don't want parenting advice, but answers based on science (neuroscience, in particular), psychology and pedagogy. The course is structured more like a workshop with questions and answers, because all parents don't need anymore is the condescence of another parenting expert telling them how to be good parents (there aren't such things as good or bad parents, by the way. only happy and less than happy parents)
