This workshop is only available to families who live in Warwickshire or who attend a Warwickshire school
This workshop recognises that parenting can be a hard role, especially in today’s challenging world of a cost-of-living crisis, post pandemic with ever increasing stressors. Arguments and disagreements in parenting relationships are normal, however if it is frequent, intense and poorly resolved it may impact on the outcomes of children. This is an introductory workshop following our stepped approach to supporting families in Warwickshire and is about helping families deal with any issues as early as possible.
Who is it for?
The Parenting Together workshop is for parents (including expectant parents) of children 0-19 (25 with SEND) living together and those living apart. It is suitable for co-parents in separate homes, single parents supported by other adult carers, extended families, and blended ‘step’ families. The word “parents” is used to refer to anyone in a parenting role, including foster carers, grandparents, etc.
Some of the ares the workshop covers:
• Support a better understanding of how interparental relationships and communication can impact on children on young people.
• Provide opportunities to explore and discuss common triggers for disagreements and conflict such as parenting styles, finances, housing and wider family members and friendships.
• Identify the difference between destructive and constructive communication and how this can impact on effective co-parenting relationships.
• Explore some strategies for managing effective co-parenting and keeping children in mind.
• Signposting and support available for parents and carers in Warwickshire through the Family and Relationship Support Team.
(This is a general overview and if further support and advice is identified, contacts and referral pathways will be available at the end of the workshop)
