Incredible Years (3-8-year-old programme) is an internationally acclaimed programme that helps parents identify and manage children's problem behaviours. Mums and dads work through a series of steps to deal with tantrums, aggression and other behaviours that challenge parenting.
We can also assist with transport, offer a free lunch each week and offer a weekly meat raffle for participants. Best of all, it is free for parents to participate!

Who can do Incredible Years?
Incredible Years is for any parent, grandparent or guardian with a child between the ages of three and eight.
What does it involve?
15 sessions of around three hours a week, plus self-guided practice. The course content involves three key areas of your child’s development: social and emotional skills, self-regulation and school readiness.
Where is the course held?
The course is run at FSM, 1 Ash Road, Wiri, South Auckland, between 11 am and 2 pm on Tuesday or Thursday each week.
Who will look after my child while I'm learning?
We don’t provide childcare onsite. So you will need to organise someone to look after your children or infants when you attend. On a first come, first served basis, we can help organise and pay for a local Early Childhood Centre to care for your child if you can’t find anyone to care for them. Breastfeeding babies are allowed to attend.
What do FSM supply?
All participants will receive a free loan of the Incredible Years Parenting book, a parenting folder, weekly worksheets, free lunch each week, and weekly support with transport and childcare.
Who is this course not for?
If your child is under 3, over 8 this is not the right programme for you. You must have a child between 3 and 8 years of age. If your child has severe Autism, the Incredible Years Autism programme is more suited to your needs.
