Parenting programmes in Knowsley - summer term 2012

Are you a parent in Knowsley who may be finding your child’s behaviour difficult to manage, and feel you need some advice and support?

Or maybe you just want some time for yourself and a chance to meet other parents in your local area. Whatever your circumstances, you are welcome to come along to one of our many parenting groups.

Understanding your Child’s Behaviour – The Solihull Approach

The programme is based on the Solihull Approach to parenting and focuses on the parent/child relationship.

It aims to support parents in building positive and responsive relationships with their children.
