Understanding your child’s behaviour

In this course you will learn about containment reciprocity and behaviour management and also the theory of attachment parents and learners will be encouraged to reflect on their own practice and how they can apply the learning models to improve parenting skills and gain new skills at the same time.

Course overview
We offer parenting group classes which are managed and facilitated by trained practitioners. Understanding your child’s behaviour is intended for parents who would like to know more about sensitive and effective parenting.

The course aims to develop a framework of thinking about the relationship with parent/child. This is where you can develop a lifelong skill. This in turn promotes effective behaviour management however the group also explore emotional pressures they are under. Some of which will relate to the child and some of which will relate to the way they were parented themselves. We recognise that parenting is a learning journey and from time to time all parents may need a bit of extra information and guidance.

We use the Solihull Approach integrated model of theory and practice over a number of years. This particular model supports the parent/children relationship by emphasising the need for emotional containment and the presence of a reciprocal relationship in order to form the framework for thinking of behaviour management.
