Raising Happy, Healthy and Fulfilled Children
For parents who want to give their child the best version of themselves in a challenging world.
Join the Early Access ListWhat this is
Most parenting advice tells you what to do. This is about how to think.
The 7 Skills framework has been used with athletes, leaders, teachers, coaches and teams for over a decade. The question that kept coming back from parents was a simple one: can we use this with our children? The answer is yes. And the best place to start is with you.
This is a six-week course built around a measurable outcome. Before you begin, you take the IDQ Snapshot — a short assessment that gives you a resilience score and a clear starting point. Six weeks later, you take it again. The difference tells you something real about what has changed.
Along the way, you will pick up practical tools for the way you talk to your children, the way you handle pressure in front of them, and how to spot the small moments that shape how they see themselves.
“At the end of six weeks, you should feel back on top of your game — not finished, but with a clear direction.”
Six weeks. One measurable outcome.
Each week builds on the last. Every lesson is drawn from the 7 Skills framework and grounded in what actually works with real families.
Why You React the Way You Do
Start by taking the IDQ Snapshot. Understand your resilience score, what it reveals, and where the real work begins.
See the World as They See It
Children process pressure differently. This week is about understanding that perspective before you try to fix anything.
The Language That Shapes Them
The words you use after a setback matter far more than most parents realise. Learn to spot the difference between what builds them up and what quietly limits them.
Building a Confident Child
Confidence is not something you give to a child. This week shows you how to create the conditions in which it grows naturally.
Handling Pressure Well
What children learn about pressure, they largely learn from watching you. This week is about what you model, and how to do it better.
Making It Stick
Close the loop. Take the IDQ again, measure the change, and walk away with a simple review process you can keep using long after the course ends.

About the course
This course is created by Mark Sheasby, author of The 7 Skills to impress™ and founder of the 7 Skills framework. Mark has worked with athletes, coaches, leaders and parents for over twenty years. The course draws directly from the framework that underpins the book — adapted specifically for parents and the particular pressures of raising children today.
The Inner Circle on this site already contains a large body of material: blog posts, book chapters, and the Speechcraft course. Everything in the parenting course is built on top of that foundation — with one focus, one outcome, and a clear path from start to finish.
