A free 12 week group for parents and carers dealing with challenging behaviour from children aged 1 to 3 years old who want to improve child wellbeing and emotional resilience.

We all want to make sure our children feel loved and encourage their emotional development, which can make it difficult to know how to discipline or manage difficult behaviour, this programme will help answers any questions or concerns you have.

Topics include:

  • helping to improve your child's social and emotional development
  • creating clear and stable routines
  • handling separations and reunions
  • using positive discipline to manage challenging behaviour

If you have a child in your care aged between 1 to 3 years old and you live in Bristol, fill in an expression of interest form. The Parenting Team will call you to find the right support for you and add your details to the course waiting list.
