Parenting a troubled child can be a very stressful experience. There is an overwhelming need to understand what is going on for your child, and most importantly, how to support them in the best ways possible. Whilst there are no ‘magic answers’, often knowing a little more about the difficulty your child is facing, and exploring different strategies to support them can be incredibly helpful.
Parent Seminar: Getting your child settled to learn
Many children don’t feel able to settle to learn at school. Difficulties can vary – from school refusal, to learning struggles to behaviour problems and more. This parent seminar will help you to understand the needs of your child in those moments of stress; and will explore a range of strategies and ideas about how to improve the home/school relationship; and how support your child’s learning.
In this Parent Seminar Series, a Clinical Psychologist or an Educational Psychologist will walk you through how to understand the difficulty; and how to support your child in ways that can create change and hope. These are very much ‘how to’ seminars – you will leave with some practical strategies that you can try the moment you get home!
10.30am - 12pm
This seminar is suitable for all (ages 18+). Parents do not need to attend every session, please book on to the individual seminars that are of interest to you. Refreshments are provided. Please bring a packed lunch if your seminar is during lunch time.
Please be aware that we are not able to offer clinical advice about individual children during this training workshop
