Are you new to parenting or caring for young children? Raising children can be a daunting prospect, and it's perfectly normal for first-time parents to struggle with crucial parenting skills in the beginning. That's why we have worked with experts to create this fantastic parental guidance course to help you through.
"Doing this course has been a pleasure. I have not studied for quite a few years and hated it while I was at school, but I really enjoyed it. My tutor was helpful whenever I needed assistance. I also found it easy to find the course I wanted to do, and all the information regarding enrolment at my fingertips." - Kay
This all-encompassing parenting course will give you an understanding of the psychology behind raising children. You will also learn how to provide experiences to support children's play & learning, how to nurture creativity in children and how to support the behaviour of children and young people.
Despite the greatest intentions and desires, some parents may find their relationships are full of anxiety, conflict and stress. Instead of developing a joyful and empowered relationship, parents can end up facing an embittered and complex one. Children can grow up feeling misunderstood and invalidated. This disconnect can be heart-breaking for parents. There is a way to transform your relationship with your child and other important people in your life - invest your time in building your knowledge and skills through this online short course.
