Stronger Relationships - Online Course – We have been sent the attached information about a 6 week free online course for parents of Year 5 children. If you would like to take part please apply using the attached information Our evidence-based course acknowledges the challenges which families face as children in this year experience a step up in academic challenge, are encouraged to take on more responsibility, seek more freedom and may also be entering puberty. We know that parents will be thinking about keeping their children safe while encouraging more independent thinking and resilience and that many co-parents will have different opinions on what is 'best' for children at this time. Topics we will cover include:· Supporting a child's academic development: dealing with the stress of school, understanding the importance of research, study and tests· Techniques to support children to better schedule their time to ensure a balance between homework, family time, exercise and relaxation · Online safety, safe online activity and screen time · Helping children understand the changes to expect with puberty to their bodies, minds and feelings.· Raising a child's self esteem by showing unconditional love, validating their feelings and celebrating their uniqueness· Enhancing a child's social skills with techniques to teach empathy and manage anger This is a Stronger Relationships 6 week online programme which looks at these challenges through the lens of communication between co-parents/carers (who live together or apart) to ensure that they can cooperate to effectively raise children. The course offers relationship enhancing, communication and conflict resolution techniques as well as parenting information. - Click the link below to find out more...
