Meet Deb Woods

Hi, I’m Deb Woods. I have always loved working with children and families, which is why I studied Child Development and Education when I did my Bachelor of Science through the Open University in England.

Extensive parent coaching experience

I have worked extensively with families and children since starting as a Family Day Care Provider many years ago. As well as a Child Care Centre Director,  I was also the Coordinator of the Child and Parent Centre in Carey Park. This fantastic position allowed me to work with families and children from pre-birth to age eight.

• Bringing Up Great Kids (suite of programs)
• Bringing Up Great Adolescents
• The Incredible Years (7 programs)
• The Incredible Years® Parenting Program: Autism Spectrum, ADHD, ADD, Language & Speech Delays (2-5 years)

Down-to-earth, practical

I’m so lucky to have two wonderful adult sons – who have given me plenty of experience in facilitating parenting programs. I understand first hand how challenging it can be to be a parent, which is why I’m passionate about supporting families in any way I can.

My consulting business, Parenting Ways, offers support for parents with children of all ages, whether you’re struggling with self-regulating emotions, coping with teenage angst or school readiness. I know that every family is different, so I tailor my evidence-based programs to meet your specific needs.
