Parent Support (SEND)
Being a parent is hard work and sometimes parents can feel very alone. Every child is different and has different needs and sometimes it is hard to know what to do when faced with challenging behaviours. When you succeed though, there is no better feeling. Helping your child through difficult times, or just every day anxieties and events, can be what makes parenting so magical. This page hopes to help you - giving you articles, documents and website links that can give you tips and advice on various different childhood behaviours.
Please do check in to this page regularly as it is updated with more content added as often as possible. If you ever want to talk to our SEND team or our Family Workers, please do get in touch. We may not have every answer but together we can work things out and hopefully, offer you some help and support.
