Parenting
|
This is a group for all parents - whether single, or a couple. Grandparents, teachers, child minders, etc. are also welcome.
The idea is to give you a chance to find ways to become a happier parent and have happier children. No one will be preaching or telling you how to bring up your children you will find encouragement and respect for your own ideas.
Each week a short video will be shown and there will be a chance to talk about typical family situations in twos and threes. You will also find many practical ideas in the attractive, simply written handbook supplied as part of the programme. It will cost £8 per course including the cost of your course book. There will be a free crèche available for the afternoon groups.
