Parenting Puzzle - for parents and carers of children aged 3 to 5 years

  family

Children are rewarding, stimulating and fun, but looking after them can be stressful and challenging. Parenting Puzzle helps deal with those challenges so you 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. The sessions are for families with a child aged 3 to 5 years old.

Week 1 - Understanding your children’s behaviour; Listening and how babies communicate; Praise and encouragement.
Week 2
- Praise and guidance; Power of play and positive moments
Week 3 - Boundaries and parenting styles; Understanding and managing behaviour; Looking after ourselves
Week 4 - Dealing with stress and conflict; Developing the family toolkit

Each session is 2 hours and delivered within our Family Hubs or interactively online via Microsoft Teams.

"Gave me more confidence, I felt listened to and was great to hear other parents with their issues/advice."

"It's given me more tools to use to help me and my child calm down and help us have a better time together."
