We know that parenting at any stage can be a challenge, from reading baby cues to toddler tantrums, growing independence to teenage emotions.
That’s why we’ve partnered with In Our Place to offer free courses to help you understand how best to support your child.
Why do a parenting course?
If you’re struggling with an aspect of your child’s behaviour, or simply want to be prepared for the changes ahead, these courses are for you.
The courses are:
- Completely free
- Designed by experts in collaboration with parents
- Split into bite-size chunks that you can complete at your own pace
- Interactive, including videos and quizzes
- Accessible on mobile devices
It’s an easy way to add to your parenting knowledge whenever you get a spare few minutes. It could be on the bus to work, waiting at the school gate or during a TV advert break.
You can either read or listen to the course content, and the courses are available in multiple languages.
