Her work covers topics such as parents' emotional competence, developmental psychology, the three parenting styles, laws of family life, and the special role of the father. The Humanistic School Switzerland offers courses in her spirit – with respect for her philosophy and the goal of bringing it into everyday Swiss life.
Philosophy
Four Principles by Marina Targakova
Her teaching is based on four simple yet profound principles that help parents build a loving and strong relationship with their children.
Seeing the child with the eyes of the heart
Targakova teaches: Before we raise a child, we must truly see them – not as a project, but as a human being.
Laws of Family Life
Families follow invisible laws. Those who know these laws can consciously create an atmosphere of love and security.
Parents as the Child's Friend
Not authority through power, but authority through trust. Targakova shows how parents can become true friends to their children.
Language of Love
How we speak to children shapes their self-image. Targakova teaches a language that strengthens rather than hurts.

Science of Relationships – Introduction
For Mothers, Fathers & Couples
Marina Targakova describes relationships as a science that can be learned. In this introductory course, you will learn the fundamental laws of family life and understand how parent-child relationships shape one's entire life.
Emotional Competence for Parents
For parents of children of all ages
How do we react when a child screams, defies, or lies? Marina Targakova shows how parents can strengthen their own emotional competence to remain calm, loving, and clear in difficult moments.
The Three Parenting Styles
Self-reflection for Parents & Educators
Targakova distinguishes between three parenting styles: authoritarian, permissive, and humanistic. This course helps you to recognize your own style and consciously develop it towards loving, clear guidance.
Fathers & Children
For fathers with children of all ages
Marina Targakova emphasizes the special role of the father: as creator, protector, and companion. This course is exclusively for fathers and creates a protected space for honest reflection and practical impulses.
