How the Toolbox can support Parents and Carers

Parenting can be extremely rewarding enlightening and enjoyable; it can also be very draining, challenging, demanding, frustrating and tiring.
 There are no manuals, precise guidelines, policies or procedures or even holidays and weekend breaks. So is it any wonder parenting can be a struggle?

We have worked with both parents and children for over 30 years in a variety of capacities and witnessed (on a large scale) the difficulties involved. Parenting can bring so much love and joy but also the disappointments and frustrations of poor behaviour, refusal to go to school, getting in trouble in and out of school, poor social skills and bad tempers. In fact, the list is almost endless.

As parents we sometimes feel we have to do it all alone, but this doesn’t have to be the case.

We provide a 12-16 week  course, which will provide support to parents when dealing with children's identified behaviour. The course gives you the strategies to build positive relationships and become familiar with techniques such as; praise for doing and praise for being, quality time and listening. Once you have identified and practiced you new techniques you will create  and develop your own patterns of behaviour and structure with a personal parenting style of your own.

Parenting is a niche programme that has been put together from many years of experience and working with parents, professionals, learners and their families? This intervention will develop a closer relationship between the key people that support children with social emotional and behavioural difficulties.  

 The three-way toolbox uses psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural and psychological methods to change the behaviour of both parents and learners and, also change thought processes through the social dynamics of family life.
