Positive Futures
Handling Children's Behaviour
Parents work tirelessly to parent their child in the best possible way. We find that many parents are putting a lot of effort and time into the wrong things and then feel too tired to deal with the tougher behaviour. This course helps you to be clearer about when and how to intervene. This approach is aimed at parents and carers with young children.
Positive Futures – Our Parenting Support Programme
Our Positive Futures project funded by the Big Lottery supports the relationship between parents / carers and children through community based practical workshops and classes.
Our Approach
Parent and Carer Workshops
In relaxed, informal settings and supported by experienced Tutors, you will be able to share
experiences and take part in workshops with other parents and carers.
