About this event:
At times we may feel lost or without a clue about what our children are needing from us. Imagine what it feels like if you were able to sense of what our child was really needing from you.
The six week program aims to support parents and caregivers in learning different ways to respond to their child to enhance their emotional development and build stronger and healthier relationships.
Children who experience healthy and enriching care-giving are more likely to be empathetic, to regulate their emotions and develop positive relationship skills to improve self-esteem and school readiness.
Light refreshments are provided.
Sessions dates are 19th, 26th Oct, 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd Nov.
