We use Family Caring Trust parenting courses that aim to help
parents and carers identify their existing parenting skills, polish
them up and introduce them to new ones A parenting course consists of seven or eight weekly sessions,
each lasting between one and a half and two hours. Input for the
courses comes from the participant’s handbook, leader’s
guide, a video and parents themselves What is a parenting course about? The courses include sections on Positive Attention; Encouragement;
Listening; Encouraging Responsibility; Talking Respectfully; Choices
and Consequences and Managing Conflict About the Parenting Course materials The course or programme materials have been designed and developed
by Family Caring Trust to provide support at all stages of the family
life cycle. Authors are the husband and wife team, Michael and Terri
Quinn, whose books have sold over two million copies worldwide.
They have been tried and tested in a variety of social settings,
and the situations presented in the books and videos represent a
variety of ages and different social and ethnic backgrounds. They recommend that all parents have a participant’s handbook.

What participants say about the courses
“The atmosphere at home is a lot calmer. I am less stressed and therefore so are my children.”
“Without taking part in this course, I would have become an ogre and my son would have ended up hating me”
“In the last few weeks I’ve seen my children in a different light and it’s a brighter one”
“My son is becoming more independent and taking responsibility for himself; he recognises that if his homework is not done he will have to face the consequences when he gets to school”
“Listening to the children, asking for their opinions and suggestions, as well as asking not telling them to do jobs, have had a huge impact on our family life” |
