Parents Information

I hope you are all well and getting through the day with a balance of work, relaxation, mindfulness and fun!

 

Below is a link to a course I completed today with Future Learn. Although it says 'Youth' I think is a worthwhile short course. Lots of relevant information for children. It also looks at us as parents and our feelings, actions and responses and how they impact on our children. Has a wealth of websites for advice and guidance. (A. Duncan)
