10 week parenting course in West Surrey UK
The Family Links Nurturing Program: The Parenting Puzzle is a 10 week course that encourages parents to enjoy bringing up their children and get the best out of family life.
The course offers positive, practical ways of guiding children so they learn to handle both their feelings and their behaviour.
It improves parents’ confidence and skills, encouraging them to maintain effective positive discipline while understanding their own and their children’s emotional needs.
