About Discipline and Guidance Parent Groups 

Simplicity Parenting Discipline and Guidance Parent Groups bring together small groups of like-minded parents to explore and discover new ways of dealing with the challenges of providing loving but firm discipline and guidance to our children.

The Simplicity Parenting approach to discipline is based on understanding a child’s needs and developmental stages, and seeks to provide guidance through coming together and strengthening a family's values rather than through conflict and punishment.

Parent Groups are led by a Certified Simplicity Parenting Group Leader and are held in person when possible or virtually through interactive video calls, and there are three different classes offered, based on the age of your child: “The First Nine Years,” “The Tween Years (9-13),” and “The Teen Years (14-19).”

In-person classes consist of three gatherings of approximately 2-1/2 hours each. Virtual classes typically consist of more gatherings of shorter length.

Tuition for the classes is $115 NZD per person or $200 per couple, plus a $40 materials fee, and pre-registration is required. (Participant Materials are purchased directly from the Simplicity Parenting Institute. A couple may share a single set of Participant Materials. Limited, need-based tuition scholarships available.)

If you'd like to be informed when the next class opens up, please fill out the form below to add your name to our interest list, and indicate which class you’re interested in. We’ll let you know as soon as registration opens.

If you have any questions, please see the FAQ below and/or CLICK HERE to send us an email. ([email protected])

Otherwise, thank you for you interest, and we hope to see you in an upcoming class!

About Bianca Entwistle

Bianca is the parent of 3 amazing children and two beautiful grandchildren. Needless to say, this has given her many years of parenting experiences from different perspectives.

In the early stages of her parenting, she quickly realized the importance of working on herself, alongside her first son, to be the best person she can be for herself, those she loves, and to inspire others around her. That brought her to 20 years of experience in multiple modalities of self-work and group work.

It was the profound result of her personal experience that led her to growing her passion about creating a safe space where parents can come together and feel supported and nurtured on their own unique journey they embark on. A space where they can grow the relationship with their children which is true and perfect to them, free of social ideas, patterns, and prejudices.  She feels honoured to work with parents in such a vulnerable and brave way. Over the years she has learned that there are no two relationships alike and she feels great respect for meeting parents "where they are at."

Bianca is a well-trained Mama, (having been blessed with children who insist on her "stepping up"), a simplicity Parenting Coach, and a Guidance and Discipline workshop facilitator with several years experience working in groups for personal development.
