Parenting Support

Parenting Programmes

We run parenting programmes, which may include topics such as:

Promoting positive parenting
Coping with / managing children’s behaviour
Developing routines
Potty training
Sleeping problems
Other common parenting issues

One-to-One and Group Sessions

As well as the group sessions, you are welcome to talk to Flying Start staff on a one-to-one basis in order to discuss any aspect of parenting. If you want they can be arranged as part of a community group or in your own home.

We also provide a range of nurture programmes that supports parents/carers to build on positive relationships in their lives and learning.
