Family counsellor Ólafur Grétar Gunnarsson leads educational sessions and discussions for parents, which aim to prepare expectant parents and assist parents of children up to the age of three in navigating parenthood in a way that ensures the child's social and emotional well-being. He will also be giving a talk on how to strengthen a couple's relationship alongside parenthood, and will suggest effective methods for dealing with the stress and disagreements that, as is well-known from the experience and research of John Gottman, increase significantly after the birth of a child.

Emphasis is placed on: – strengthening intimacy in the relationship – managing disagreements – being consistent in the parenting role – recognising and respecting children's feelings – knowing where to seek support and advice when needed.

Toddlers are of course welcome too, parents of all genders are encouraged to attend, and especially couples. Hot drinks will be available, of course!
