All parents& facilitators involved in the group will prepare and eat a healthy light lunch together with their children. After lunch, we will all take part in group activities, during which you will be encouraged to play together with your child.

3. Parents’ workshop
In this session, you will get the chance to watch films of interactions between parents and their children and learn about positive parenting. Usually you will be given tasks to “Have a Go” at home, to practise new activities or skills that you have learned about on the course. During this final group session you will have the opportunity to discuss your ‘Have a Go’, successes from what you’ve learned. You will also be encouraged to try new solutions to your parenting challenges.
