FAMILY WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTS AND CARERS

Every parent wants to feel securely connected to their child, but knowing how to respond in the busy moments of everyday life can be challenging. Join us for an empowering, practical parent session grounded in the trusted Circle of Security framework.

• Going Out on the Circle (Building Joy): Learn the beautiful Marte Meo Approach of "Following" your child's lead. Discover how simple, everyday moments can become opportunities for your child to experience "enjoy with me" and "delight in me."
• Coming In on the Circle (Handling Big Emotions): Learn the step-by-step process of Co-regulation. You will gain concrete strategies to helping to "organise my feelings" and provide true "comfort me" moments.

Do you ever find yourself wondering what your child is really trying to tell you through their behaviour, or feeling unsure how to respond in the moment? Responsive parenting is about tuning in to your child’s needs and responding in ways that help them feel safe, understood and supported.

This workshop shares practical strategies to recognise your child’s cues, respond calmly during big feelings, and create a nurturing, predictable home environment. You’ll also explore how small changes in everyday interactions can strengthen connection, build confidence, and support emotional regulation.

Responsive parenting isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present, attuned and supportive, helping both you and your child feel more confident and connected.

Are you feeling unsure about when to start toileting, or worried it’s turning into a daily struggle? Many families find this stage stressful, especially when progress feels rushed or becomes a power battle.

This workshop invites parents to step away from the idea of “toilet training” and instead see toileting as a shared learning journey. You’ll explore how to recognise signs of readiness, involve your child in age-appropriate ways, and support toileting without pressure or conflict.

The session shares practical strategies to work alongside your child, create a supportive environment, and build confidence over time. You’ll leave feeling calmer, better informed and more confident in supporting your child’s independence at their own pace

Have you ever wondered if you’re reading “the right way”, or what your child is really getting out of storytime? Many parents want to support early learning through books but feel unsure where to start or how to keep young children engaged.

This workshop helps families build confidence in shared reading with babies and toddlers. You’ll explore how shared reading supports language, connection and learning, how to choose picture books that suit your child’s age and interests, and simple ways to make storytime playful and interactive.

With practical ideas you can use straight away, this session supports parents to turn reading together into a relaxed, enjoyable part of everyday family life.

Saying goodbye each day can be challenging for children and parents. Join expert Elena Marouchos in this online session to explore practical strategies for creating a positive daily ritual.

The workshop will touch on separation anxiety, helping parents understand their child's emotions, and share tips to make departures calm, consistent and reassuring.
