LIVING WITH PRIMARY AGED CHILDREN
We are very happy to continue our partnership with Catholic Care and have Helen Diamond share her expertise with our parents again this year. A parent meeting will be held with Helen on:
- 2pm at Tuesday 13th February (Cancelled)
- 7pm at Tuesday 13th February.
Child minding will be available.
This is Helen’s introduction:
Hello! My name is Helen Diamond and I am delighted to be doing some work with your community.
I am a Parent Educator who has the joy and privilege of working with parents for over 25 years. I’m also a parent of three adult children and a grandparent.
One thing I know for certain is that every parent wants to be the best parent they can for their child/ren. The problem is that there is so much information around advising parents how to go about this, that it can be really confusing and confidence deflating. Each generation of parents puts their own spin on parenting and new research overrides the messages of previous “experts” which can sometimes leave us not knowing where to turn when we hit a roadblock in our parenting journey.
I’m looking forward to facilitating a couple of parenting sessions where we will explore the latest research on building strong relationships with our children and why this is so important and what we can be doing to support our children to feel “safe, seen and secure”.
The information I’ll be drawing on will be from evidence based parenting programs: “Circle of Security Parenting”, “Bringing up Great Kids” by the Australian Childhood Foundation and “Turning into Kids” as well as the observations and experiences of parents I’ve met along the way.
Looking forward to meeting you and hearing your parenting stories.
