🌱 10-Week Parenting Programme – Places Filling
Our Family Links Nurturing Programme is starting soon at Abingdon Carousel, and we still have a few spaces available.
This popular programme helps parents:
✨ understand children’s behaviour
✨ respond with empathy and positive discipline
✨ build cooperation and stronger relationships
✨ feel more confident in their parenting
It’s not a lecture and it’s definitely not about judging parents. It’s a supportive space where parents learn together and share experiences.
🗓 Tuesdays | 9.30–11.30am from 28th April
⏳ 10 sessions (attendance at all sessions is encouraged as they fit together like a puzzle)
Please note:
• Parents only (no crèche available)
• Friendly small group with trained facilitators
