Monster inside - family training
The project runs for 3 weeks with the children in one workshop and the parents/carers in another workshop running simultaneously, with both groups working on the same topic each week. In week 3 both groups are brought together to discover what has been learnt.
The programme aims to:
- Increase parents' understanding and management of a challenging child
- Introduce strategies and rules within the family unit
- Children and young people will have a better understanding of the triggers that send them into red mist moments
- How to develop appropriate peer relationships that support them rather than hinder their progress: addup@addup.co.uk
