What this group can help with
This 6-session program can help you to:
- understand your child’s feelings, including anger, sadness or worry
- understand how your child’s feelings impact their behaviour
- understand and manage feelings that come up for you as a parent
- connect and talk with your child in positive ways
- support your child as they develop social skills
