The Nurturing Programme
Information for parents and carers
How to get the best out of family life
What is the Nurturing Programme?
Children are rewarding, stimulating and fun, but looking after them can be stressful and challenging.
The Nurturing Programme helps deal with those challenges so that you can have a calmer, happier life.
A tried and tested programme, it helps us think about what we do, why we do it and how it makes us feel.
What does it cover?
Over the 10-week Programme, you will look at lots of different topics, including:
Understanding
why children behave as they do.
Recognising
the feelings behind behaviour (ours and theirs).
Exploring
different approaches to discipline.
Finding
ways to develop co-operation and self-discipline in children.
Learning
the importance of looking after ourselves.
Practical information
Partners are welcome and it’s also fine to come on your own or with a relative or friend.
There are ten 2-hour sessions with a tea and coffee break.
8-10 parents are invited and there are two Family Links trained group leaders.
Some groups provide a Creche; check with group leaders beforehand.
You need to come to all ten sessions as they fit together like a puzzle.
