Parenting Programme

The parenting puzzle is a tried and tested programme which helps us as parents/carers to think about what we do, why we do it and how it makes us feel.

The workshops help parents/carers understand children’s behaviour, how to praise and encourage, set boundaries, deal with conflict, and how to look after ourselves.

A creative and nurturing programme for parents to enjoy activities together in a relaxed space without the need for formal artistic skills or instruction. Each monthly session will explore a new creative activity e.g. painting, pottery, sensory rice, playdough, scrap booking, and candle making. By experiencing some of the play activities that children do when they attend our play programmes, parents will have a hands-on experience of the therapeutic benefits of creative play including regulation, stress reduction and mood improvement, all whilst discovering new talents! Part of the programme will give parents ideas about things they can do at home with their children, including how to make sensory play materials such as playdough, rice and cloud dough. All will be accompanied by a cup of tea and an opportunity for social connection and support.

The Nurturing Programme is a structured 11 week interactive programme promoting emotional health and well-being, relationship skills and positive behaviour management strategies for parents carers and their children.
