This workshop is aimed at parents and looks at:

  • Considers temperament, explains self esteem and how to raise it and reviews how to give constructive and useful praise.

  • Looks at how children’s brains develop and how by playing the long game you can effectively choose your battles.

  • Explains why little things can cause huge meltdowns, and how these can be avoided.

  • Demonstrates ways you can help your child to understand and manage their big emotions.

Parents who attended last years online talks told us:

“The session was so useful, easy to understand, follow and funny”

“A very helpful talk. It’s given me things to consider over the summer”

“It provided excellent information”

“It gave me insight into understanding my child and what goes on in her brain”

We also sell an excellent new and updated resource pack in our online shop which supports and contains all the information and resources to help support families in this important transition of starting Primary School. Parents tell us this is worth purchasing.

Please purchase one family ticket to join the session, irrespective of how many are present.

If this fee is inhibitory to you being able to attend, and you feel this workshop would benefit your family, we do have a number of FREE places, for families, on each of our workshops. Please email info@standinginthegap.uk stating which workshop and date you would like to be considered for. 

If you are in the fortunate position where you are able, you can pay this forward and purchase additional family tickets which can then be used to offer free places to more vulnerable families.

We are in the process of finalising our talk dates for 2025 and will realise them as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.
