Parenting

Parenting is the hardest job in the world – and the most rewarding! Few of us have had any training in it because it is assumed that it “ all comes naturally” – thank goodness we don’t assume that when it comes to learning to drive

Family Matters York aims to:-

  • increase the confidence of parents and carers
  • help build even better relationships

parentingOur team of trained facilitators runs a range of parenting workshops for parents and carers of children from 0 to 19 – in schools, playgroups, community centres, churches, and homes – anywhere we can get a group of parents or carers together.

The courses last from a single session to 6 weeks and are accessible, fun and interactive. We try to discuss parents’ own issues as well as covering the course material. We look at issues such as how to help your child be happy and secure, boundary setting, keeping your child safe and keeping ourselves sane.
