Happy new year to you all.
I wanted to let you know about upcoming Parent Workshops, taking place throughout the Spring Term as part of our ongoing parenting offer.
This term we will be running six workshops, designed to support parents and carers with practical guidance, up-to-date information, and strategies that can be used at home. The sessions are a great way to learn, build understanding, and gain confidence in supporting your child’s development and wellbeing.
Workshop topics include:
Emotional development and its link to behaviour
Parenting styles and attachment
Brain development in children and young people
Self-regulation and sleep
Online safety
Understanding young people’s mental health
Booking information
All workshops are free to attend
Tickets can be booked via Eventbrite
Places are limited, so we encourage early booking
Full details of each session, including dates and times, are available on the Eventbrite booking page which is on the attachment in the email.
We hope you will be able to join us and take advantage of this valuable opportunity to learn more and connect with other parents and carers in a supportive environment.
If you have any questions please get in touch and I will be happy to answer these.
