Why is it that when you get a new washing machine, it comes with instructions in fourteen different languages. When you have a child, what do you get? Nothing!

Being a parent is one of the few things in life that you don’t need a qualification for, yet it’s an incredible challenge which sometimes requires every ounce of your energy.

Whether your children are this big or much smaller, then this course might be for you!

This course will enable us to;

·        Get to know ourselves better as parents and build on our strengths

·        Share with other parents and so discover that we are often not alone in the issues we face

·        Discover ways of enhancing and building on the relationship we already have with our children

·        Develop skills that will support us as parents

·        Have fun… and carry that into our relationship with our children

The course is based on the Parenttalk Parenting Course published by Care for the Family which features Rob Parsons and Steve Chalke

Programme

1.      Being ourselves and loving our children, exploring the possibilities and dilemmas.

2.      Looking, listening and talking. Getting to know our children and improving our communication

3.      Boundaries and battles. Choosing wisely and handling conflict in a positive way

4.      Letting go and dealing with ‘Big Issues’, for our children’s age group

Each session will use video material to prompt discussion. The way the discussion goes will be very much determined by the issues raised within the group. Each participant will be able to contribute by making constructive comments and problem solving.

Each discussion will be facilitated in a way which enables the whole group’s needs to be met as far as possible.
