Feel good about yourself and good about your toddler with this 3 hour workshop.
Are you struggling with your toddler's behaviour? Worried about whether they are eating enough? Not sure whether it's time to move them from a cot to a bed? Finding toddler groups a nightmare?
In this course we cover all aspects of toddler behaviour that parents find challenging, including sleep, eating, tantrums, sharing and more. We will look into the reasons behind this behaviour, and what you can reasonably expect at your child's age. We will look at what works and what doesn't work in terms of 'managing' their behaviour. The focus is on gentle, respectful methods that work with, rather than against, your child.
We will also look at how you want to parent your toddler, as it is often at this age that differences become noticable between how your own family think you should raise your child, or what you feel mainstream "experts" are telling you. This course is not prescriptive, and it will allow you the time and space to think about the long term, and whether a certain style of parenting is right for you. I firmly believe that every family is different and it is not for me to tell you what to do. There will be plenty of time for discussion with other parents going through the same things.
The aim of this course is to give you a deeper understanding of your child's brain development, and some simple strategies that can help give you a more harmonious relationship for years to come.
The workshops usually run at weekends at the Suffolk Babies Centre in Kesgrave.
It costs £35 for the three hour workshop.
To book a place, please find the event on our timetable. Pre-booking is essential as spaces are limited.
Parents/carers of toddlers aged 1 to 4. If two parents are at home it is ideal if they can attend together so you both get the same information at the same time, and can work on a plan of action together. However, the workshop is equally suitable for single parents or for one parent to attend on their own.
There is no creche with this workshop, and toddlers can't attend, so you will need to find alternative childcare. Non-mobile babies are welcome of course.
