Welcome to Preparental®, the home of parenthood planning
If you're thinking about having children, you're in the right place to plan how to make it work - financially, career-wise, logistically and at home.
Planning parenthood is positively life-changing.
Not only does it make family life easier and more enjoyable, it also makes the journey there less stressful so you can look forward to being a parent.
"Parenthood by Design" is a 10-week live course. Over 10 weeks, you'll follow my 10-step process to complete your own personal, joined-up parenthood plan. So you can be:
✅ Knowledgeable about what to expect from parenthood and your practical options;
✅ Confident in building the support you'd need to cope;
✅ Clear and purposeful about how you would make parenthood work in your life;
✅ Decisive about parenthood, and the trade-offs involved, and able to move forward with your life;
✅ Ready to take your next actions.
Hi, I'm Helen.
I'm the founder of Preparental, and a parenthood educator.
I created Preparental to share planning resources with future parents, because I found the parenthood planning I did as part of the UK adoption process, SO useful.
I believe future parents should be looking forward to their parent 'era', not dreading it. Yet it's hard to ignore the challenges ahead. And ignoring the challenges would be foolish! I want to you become a parent with your eyes wide open, as prepared as you can be for every challenge.
