What can we expect?
The Parenting Children Course is made up of five weekly sessions lasting 2 hours
Each session consists of a video talk and small group discussions, and parents are expected to do the homework section before coming for the next session. The topics include:
· Building strong foundations
· Meeting our children’s needs
· Setting boundaries
· Teaching healthy relationships
· Our long term aim
Why do the Course?
· Children do not arrive with an instruction manual
· No role we undertake is more important than parenting
Family life is under great pressure today and parents face bewildering choices about how to parent effectively. Discovering we are not alone in the challenges we face and picking up ideas from other parents can make a huge difference. We can all learn how to make even the happiest family better.
What others say?
"The course has helped me to see my parenting and my child in a new perspective. It introduces to me what I will be facing in my parenthood through sharing sessions from other parents."
"I have learnt that it is actually good for the children to show their anger so they don’t hide their feelings and you get to know them more, thus encouraging bonding."
