Parenting Workshops for Dads

Hey dads, do you ever wish parenting felt just a little easier in the tough moments? Even in great families, stress, big emotions, and busy schedules can make it hard to stay as calm and connected as you want to be. Parenting today comes with new challenges and high expectations, but the good news is that small, intentional shifts can make a big difference.


This is where I come in.

I’m Dr. Maryke Van Zyl, a licensed psychologist who specializes in parenting and relationships for dads. As both a parent and a psychologist, I know how hard it is to break old cycles while trying to show up as the dad you want to be. For years, I’ve helped fathers move from frustration and disconnection to confidence and closeness with their kids.

This workshop is the guidance I wish I had as a parent.


What You’ll Learn in the Workshop

  • How to manage stress and anger without shutting down or exploding
  • Simple strategies to build stronger bonds with your kids
  • Tools for supporting your child’s emotional growth and resilience
  • Repair strategies to rebuild trust after conflict


Common Struggles We’ll Tackle 

  • Toddler tantrums or kid meltdowns → Learn co-regulation strategies to stay calm and guide your child through big feelings.
  • Power struggles and constant battles → Discover how to set boundaries without endless conflict.
  • Feeling disconnected → Practice daily connection builders that make your kids feel seen and safe.
     

Who This Workshop Is For? Dads who...

  • feel stuck in cycles of conflict with their kids 
  • want to handle stress and anger more effectively 
  • want to raise their kids with more patience, confidence, and connection
     

Who This Workshop Is Not For

  • Parents looking for a quick fix without doing the practice
  • Dads who are not open to reflection and trying new tools 
  • Those who cannot commit to showing up fully for the live workshop
