Building a supportive community is at the heart of our school, and this past Monday, we were delighted to host a special event for our families.
We were very fortunate to welcome the Tower Hamlets Education Wellbeing Service (THEWS), one of our valued partner services, for an insightful coffee morning and free parent workshop. The session focused on providing practical, effective strategies for positive parenting, specifically tailored for families navigating the hurdles of challenging behaviour.
Parenting is one of the most rewarding jobs in the world, but it certainly comes with its trials! The THEWS team shared a toolbox of strategies designed to help parents:
- Understand the “Why”: Looking at what might be triggering certain behaviours in children.
- Positive Reinforcement: Learning how to encourage good choices through praise and consistency.
- Stay Calm in the Storm: Techniques for parents to manage their own stress during difficult moments.
Beyond the expert advice, the morning provided a wonderful opportunity for parents to connect over a cup of coffee. It was a safe space for families to share their own experiences, realise they aren’t alone, and offer mutual support.
