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.


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 
  • Fathers who want to handle stress and anger more effectively 
  • Parents who 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
