A free four week programme of workshops to help parents and carers of children under 5 learn new skills and gain confidence.

It can be hard to understand how the way we parent affects our children, and it is okay to feel nervous about trying to always say and do the right thing. This programme of workshops will help you create a healthy path forward for you and your family.

The workshops will give you the tools to understand:

  • your children's behaviours

  • how to use positivity, praise, and encouragement

  • how to best deal with stress and conflict

If you have a child in your care under the age of 5 and you live in Bristol, you can fill in an expression of interest form. The Parenting Team will call you to find the right support for you and add your details to the workshop waiting list.
