Does anyone have any recommendations for counselling or self esteem/resilience/anger management workshops for children.

I'd be very happy to donate and help in any other way needed transport etc. Does anyone know of anything more local than Brighton being set up as I'd really like to do more if possible but haven't found anything that close. Thanks!

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply to my post, its really good to hear other peoples experiences and know that its not just my daughter doing this, we dont know anyone directly who has such problems so to know other toddlers have done the same is really reassuring. I don't know what the answer is but I feel a bit less desperate just reading your posts! Thanks again x

Thanks v much for your posts, will give the gp a call and fingers crossed, we're not really able to go for night nanny so great to hear there is nhs option x

I am totally at my wits end with my 2 year old's sleeping and want to try to get some professional help, does anyone know if there are things your gp can do, places they can refer you? Also I don't know what would they would consider normal and what would be taken seriously as a sleep disorder, my daughter goes to bed fine between 7/7.30 but then 70% of the time wakes at some point past 12 for 2-4 hours then gets up anywhere between 5-6 regardless. This has been going on since last summer and I feel we have tried everything and am starting to go a bit mad with the sleep deprivation. Any advice much appreciated.

Rivoli ballroom new years eve party Honor oak has people of all ages and is great fun. Hard to buy tickets though you have to go there in person and its only open at random times.

Great thanks for the help, lots of ideas.

Can anyone recommend playgroups or cheap activities that go on in the afternoon, everything seems to be in the morning and we are a bit slow getting going! Also is it possible to download somewhere weekly activities for local children's centres, I've seen this for Lewisham and it's really handy but haven't been able to find for Southwark. Thanks!

I have something I want to be able to do for a couple of hours each Friday but need a plan for my 5 month old. Is there such a thing as childcare for such limited hours? Have no idea how it works so would really appreciate any pointers.

Thanks everyone for the advice, good to know it's not just me even if there's no easy answer! I don't think she's hungry as she's being really difficult about feeding at the minute too which does tie in with the wonder week thing...has been 3 weeks already though so not sure if week is a loose term! Roll on sleeping through...

My 5 month old used to wake once a night but for the last 3 weeks has been waking anything up to 6 times a night. I'm totally dysfunctional after 3 weeks of it, does anyone have any similar experience or tips on how I might nip this in the bud...

Hi - Sorry all the spaces have gone for this now - but I just organised direct with them though so you can too, min of 7 people and has to be held in a public place not a home.

I've organised a First aid course for new parents for my NCT group but we need 2 extra people as they have a minimum number per course. It's an hour and a half long and we're booked for the 1st October, it's run free by London Ambulance Service..please PM me if you're interested in joining us.

Hi - I am planning a home birth in April for my 1st and would love to meet up but am working Thursday, do let me know if you're going to meet again.

Sitaram Yoga also does classes in the church in Dulwich village on Thursdays
