Being a parent can offer challenges for a variety of reasons and it is common to feel overwhelmed or unsure about how to manage your child’s behaviour.
Our FREE parenting puzzle courses highlight the importance of tuning into young children and the power of play; they also promote positive approaches to discipline and boundary setting.
Any parent or carer with a child aged between 2 and 5 can contact starting well and book a place.
