Child Accident Prevention Trust - Button Batteries 

 

 

School holidays can be a time where families get the opportunity to spend quality time with each other, go on holiday and make memories.

However for some families this may not be the case and the holiday period can put additional pressure on the dynamics of the relationships within the household.

To support parents that may be struggling over the summer holidays, we are offering the following parenting discussion sessions:-

 

  1. Managing Family Conflict (Teen) 12th August at Dinnington
  2. Hassle Free Outings (0 – 12) 12th August at Dinnington

 

  1. Coping with Teens Emotions (Teens) 19th August at Swinton Brookfield
  2. Developing Good Bedtime Routines (0 – 12 ) 19th August at Swinton Brookfield

 

  1. Getting Teens to Cooperate (Teens) 21st August at The Place
  2. Dealing With Disobedience (0 – 12) 21st August at The Place

 

Please share with your teams.

Please contact parenting@rotherham.gov.uk to book families on to the discussion groups.
