FAMILY WORKSHOPS FOR PARENTS AND CARERS

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.
