One of the teachers at my daughter's pre-school told me recently about a course she had been on for parents to help speak and communicate with children. Try;

and

Haven't looked at these yet.


Also, maybe the pre-school learning alliance could help?

I tried to get on one but missed out on a place as was a bit late this term, have signed up for the autumn term - the one this term was being run at various places including the Albrighton Centre on a Friday morning, for 10 weeks. They do a creche too. I think there are details on the Southwark website - will see if i can find the link. To be honest I'm not sure how I'll manage the commitment of 10X fri mornings but want to do something!

Hi did you try these courses in the end? I am thinking the same thing - so fed up of bring ignored by 3 year old and hate shouting at him but sometimes I don't know what else to do to get him to get dressed / get in the bath / put down tos / leave the house / etc etc. Help!

Sol - the tips for boys that have previously been discussed here can be found in the resources section of this website -

Even reading this several months on has been useful for me a a a gentle reminder.

Tbh, the tips in that link are interesting but personally I think they have more to do with parental perception of boys than the individual behaviour of any child. My child acts A LOT like the boys described in that link, and she's a girl. My friend's child is very much the opposite, and he's a boy.

The pac.org link looks good, but I couldn't find anything for parents on a weekend (link was for adoptive parents and carers?). Will look again when I have more time.


Unfortunately due to our work schedules, DH and I can only do weekends for formal courses.


Or does anyone know of informal peer support style gentle parenting groups that meet in the evening?

    • For reasons not worth going into, I am looking for a Jean Michel Jarre vinyl record that has Rendez Vous 4 and Magnetic Fields 2 on - so probably a greatest hits version. Cheers
    • This is my second recommendation for Leon of Electrical Initiative. He came today to fit two LED light fittings to my flat. No easy task as the wiring is about 30 years old, and the kitchen wiring was connected to the bathroom lights (for some reason). So the job was partially repairing my botched removal of the old strip-light fitting. "That's not so bad," said Leon, as he climbed his ladder and fitted a little connector and soon had the bathroom light back, then he fitted the new kitchen Lepre, and then the one in the living room. All in less than an hour. Thank you Leon!
    • We have had lots of young foxes in our street this year, very cute. We haven't been subject to them Shi**ing all over our garden as our dog owner neighbours have. They seem to be marking their territory. They were quite fond of my car roof (soft top) I boiled up some garlic and regularly spray my roof, it keeps them at bay and my car smelling like roast garlic mmmmm🫢
    • Highly recommend Andy (Andyman services). Really good communication, punctual, reliable and very personable. He did a really neat siliconing job in our bathroom. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again. Andy - 07564194363
