A Course for Parents of any child with an Additional Need for Support.  This Time Out For Parents course is developed by parents, for parents. It is suitable for parents of any child who does not respond as expected to traditional parenting methods, or who struggle to understand and manage their child's behaviour, or whose child becomes overwhelmed by their emotions or seems to find the world a confusing place. Absolutely no official ‘diagnosis’ is necessary, you don’t even have to know what might be causing your child to need extra help, just a willingness of parents to explore what might work better to support their child. The course gives practical, jargon free advice and practical steps for parents to engage and build relationships with their children with special needs. The course is a fantastic opportunity to also build relationships with other parents. There are six sessions, including: 

1. Parenting children with special needs
2. Self-esteem
3. Coping with your feelings
4. Understanding behaviour
5. Managing behaviour
6. Home and school issues and the wider family

Time Out For Parents: Children with Special Needs is run by our training team, led by Gill Parkinson.
