An early years programme delivered through our Family Hubs has increased parental confidence for a local mum.

After finding the demands of parenthood challenging, Toni reached out to her local Family Hub to gain support for her children, Connie and Lenny.

Toni signed-up to the early years workshops, where parents can access four sessions to help them gain confidence in dealing with family life. The workshops give parents a greater understand of their children’s needs and how they communicate them.

Toni said: “I am more consistent than before and I follow through with my actions. My son still tries to push me sometimes, but he is learning that I won’t give in, and bedtimes are much easier.

“I also recognise the importance of taking more time for myself and I have even started to read books just for me – I feel more positive.

“I think these workshops are definitely worth doing and are a game changer. It has made me more aware of my child’s feelings and why they behave in a certain way.

“I would go into these sessions with an open mind and you will be surprised what you will gain from them.”

The early years workshops are suited for parents of children aged 1-4 years old. Call 01642 579120 to find out more.
