Parenting Apart Programme

Our Parenting Apart Programme (PAP) supports parents who are going through conflict, divorce or separation, where relationships have broken down. It also supports the emotional wellbeing of children during this difficult time. The PAP offers a supportive environment for both parents, so they can work towards an agreed co-parenting relationship.

Brilliant Parents Webinar - Approaching Co-Parenting - YouTube - with Kam Kaur.

Brilliant Parents webinar: The Digital World for Teenagers - YouTube - Parenting today has many challenges, but one of the biggest must be, how do we raise emotionally sound children, whilst helping them navigate their way around the inescapable attraction and necessity of the digital world? As parents, it's important to increase our knowledge base, so that we have realistic expectations of ourselves and our children. We will examine the following questions: How much screen time is ok? Is my child addicted to: gaming/screen time/smartphone/tech? How do I keep my child safe online? How do I deal with aggression? Do we need to do a digital detox? In this webinar with Dr Michele McDowell, those questions and many more are answered.
