Parenting Workshop for Dads
Practical Tools to Strengthen Your Relationships, with Dr. Maryke
Hey dads, are you struggling with constant battles, big emotions, or stress at home?
Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when you want to raise your kids differently than how you grew up. You may find yourself caught in power struggles, shutting down when things get tough, or feeling guilty after losing your temper.
What you want instead…
Imagine coming home to less tension and more connection. Picture yourself handling stress and anger calmly, creating stronger bonds with your kids, and repairing after conflict in a way that builds trust instead of distance. Parenting can feel lighter, more rewarding, and filled with the kind of relationship you’ve always wanted with your children.
And the good news is this is possible.
That’s exactly what you’ll learn in this live, interactive Parenting Workshop for Dads.
Why what you’ve tried hasn’t worked
Maybe you’ve read parenting books or tried strategies you saw online, only to feel frustrated when nothing sticks. Quick tips often don’t work because they don’t address the root of the problem; your stress, your triggers, and the patterns that keep you and your kids stuck.
This is where I come in.
I’m Dr. Maryke Van Zyl, a licensed clinical 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.
