Parents, Infants and Toddlers; Developing Relationships

Sleepless nights, terrible tantrums and everything sticky! Weave been there, too, and we know it can be a lonely, exhausting place and sometimes seems endless. If you can get away from your responsibilities for a few hours a week you’d like the opportunity to share the challenges and joys with other parents and explore new ways to make life with young children more rewarding and fun both for you and your family.

This course is similar in content to SHEP’s Family Communication course and focuses on developing positive communication with the younger child.
