Dear Parents and Carers,

​

I am very pleased to share with you a fantastic free resource for families in Hertfordshire: the “Bitesize Parenting” online workshops, organised by Supporting Links, a highly regarded parenting and training consultancy.

​

These are free, one-hour, online sessions for all parents and carers of children of any age who live or go to school in Hertfordshire. Each workshop focuses on a common parenting challenge and offers down-to-earth ideas, insights and practical strategies you can try at home straight away.

​

Current and recent workshop topics include:

​

· “What is going on in my teenager’s head?” – understanding the teenage brain and how to support your teen.

· “Why does my child give up so easily?” – helping children to build resilience and keep going when things feel hard.

· “How do I get my child to listen to me?” – practical ways to improve cooperation and reduce battles at home.

· “How can my child learn to manage their feelings?” – ideas for supporting children to recognise and regulate big emotions.

· “How do I talk to my teen/preteen about…?” – guidance on having sensitive or tricky conversations with older children.

· “How do I get my child to eat better?” – support with mealtimes and encouraging healthier eating habits.

· “Why don’t my children get on with each other better?” – strategies for managing sibling relationships.

· “Why does my child behave like that?” and “Why can’t my child make good decisions?” – understanding behaviour and decision-making, and how we can coach children towards better choices.

​

The workshops are designed to be:

​

· Friendly and non-judgemental – a space where you are listened to and supported.

· Calming and confidence-building – helping you feel more in control at home.

· Interactive and engaging – you learn in a relaxed, enjoyable way.

· Practical – you leave with clear, manageable ideas to try with your family.
