A course for parents of any child with an additional need for support if:

•  You are struggling to understand or manage your child’s behaviour , or
•  Your child has developmental challenges, or
•  Your child becomes overwhelmed by their emotions, or
•  You’re feeling isolated because of your child’s needs, or
•  Traditional parenting methods are just not working well for your family,

Then, this course is for you.

Absolutely no official ‘diagnosis’ is necessary, you don’t even have to know what might be causing your child to need extra help.

You need a willingness to explore ideas and find out what works for you and your family.

The course offers practical, jargon-free advice and practical steps to engage and build relationships with your children with additional needs. The course is also a great opportunity to build relationships with other parents.

There are seven sessions, including:

1. Parenting Children with Additional Needs
2. Self-Esteem
3. Coping with Your Feelings
4. Understanding Behaviour
5. Managing Behaviour
6. Home and School Issues
7. The Wider Family

Time out for Parents: Children with Additional Needs is run by our training team, led by Gill Parkinson and Karen Williams, licenced facilitators for Care for the Family.
