Parenting Session for Primary Aged Parents/Carers (online)

When you have booked in we will send you the zoom code to join the session. There are 3 sessions - you can sign up to as many as you would like. The course is led by a trained counsellor although there will be lots of space for you to share your experiences and ask questions if you would like to. Why not get a few of your friends to join? Share your parenting experiences together.

Session 1: Love them and let them know - 22 September

Our children look to us to meet their need for love and security. This session looks at how we can begin to meet those needs and build their sense of self-worth by giving unconditional love and encouragement to each child.

Session 2: It's good to talk - 29 September

In this session we’ll be looking at the most effective ways of talking and listening to our children. Words are powerful. They can teach, give encouragement and express love but they also have the potential to hurt and damage. As parents we need to listen to our children and keep the lines of communication open.

Session 3: Boundaries and battles - 6 October

In this session we’ll be looking at different styles of parenting, setting and defending boundaries, and choosing which battles to fight. Our expectations for their behaviour need to be fair and we must ensure that our children clearly understand them. We also need to be consistent about what we will do when boundaries are crossed.
