We do a range of activities in the group, including: discussing experiences and concerns, sharing ideas, completing exercises, practising skills, and home tasks.
Quotes from parents who completed the First Steps’ Understanding Your Child Group for Parents:
This course has given me insight into what children can feel and as a result helped me to recognise my son’s feeling. I am trying to deal with them with a better approach.
A great help and a luxury to have time and space to share experiences and learn.
This group built up my confidence as a parent. Thanks so much.
