Shropshire Parenting Team courses

The Parenting Team at Shropshire Council have asked us to share the following –

The Parenting Team will be delivering free Understanding Your Child and Understanding Your Child SEND groups from April/May 2025 (poster attached).

These 10 week groups aim to:

• Promote understanding of children’s behaviour within the context of developmental issues

• Promote the development of parent/child relationship

• Increase confidence and self-esteem in both parents and children

• Give parents a strategy for repair when things go wrong

• Promote reflective, sensitive and effective parenting

They are also offering free SLEEP TIGHT groups from June 2025 (poster attached).

These 5 week workshops cover:

• Recognising the role of sleep hygiene to improve sleep

• Identifying causes of sleep issues and appropriate practical strategies to try

• Completing sleep diaries and identifying potential sleep issues

Also attached is a poster with information on their Parenting Help and Support Line.
