The Incredible Years

Dear Parents / Carers
After Christmas and towards the end of January Caroline Slack, our PSA, will be beginning a new Parent / Carer course called the Incredible Years.

This programme is a training series developed to help reduce difficult behaviour in children and boost their social and self control skills.

The programme has been found to be really successful in strengthening parent management skills, improving children’s social abilities and reducing behaviour problems.

There is lots of evidence to show that the programme has helped turn around the behaviours of up to 80 percent of the children of parents taking part.

The programme gives parents techniques and strategies to manage behaviours such as aggressiveness, tantrums, and acting out behaviour such as swearing, whining, yelling, hitting and kicking, answering back and refusing to follow rules.

Through a range of strategies, Parents / Carers help children control their emotions and improve their social skills so that they can get along better with their peers and adults, and do better academically. It can also mean a more enjoyable family life.

If you feel you might be interested and would like to find out more details contact Caroline here at St Mark's before Friday 10th December and she will get in touch with you.
