The Nurturing Parenting course.
The course is delivered in two hourly sessions over the course of eight weeks and helps parents and carers get the best out of family life. Sessions are informal, fun and a great confidence booster. The course offers practical, positive ways to guide children so that they can learn to handle both their feelings and their behaviour. It encourages parents to share their parenting experiences and draw on each others advice.

Here are Ray's reflections after attending our Nurturing Parenting course ......
"Just wanted to say a BIG thank you for providing the parenting course. There were many things I liked about the course... the energy, passion, empathy, concise to the point, the openness everyone brought to the discussion, giving myself an interesting insight into similar situations other households face compared to ours. I went into the course with an open mind but personally felt I was giving close to my best as possible, only to realise part way into the course that there are more effective ways to deal with rebellious kids which helps to mitigate the long struggles/stress to say the least. Also picked up good ideas for engaging more with the kids making them feel more important and confident.
As parents we have to pass many other tests in life (e.g. drivers license, MOT, interviews etc.) and yet there is no test to be a parent. Parents often overlook the importance of establishing a common ground for the household, common goals, values, what's important what's less so, how to deal with situations to avoid the aggravated stress that comes with it. At the end of the day we want our children to grow feeling loved, cherished, important, confident, well educated, clean and tidy etc. I highly recommend every parent do this course - believe me every parent will gain from it!"
