At my DD SN school, they ahve a parent support group run by one of the teachers, but no one really goes to it.
Which is where I come in!
I am going to do a letter to the parents, to let them know I will be running a coffee morning? coffee break? (any idea's for a name?) 1 morning a week
It will just be us parents, no Teacher! Just having a cuppa , chat, moan ! to other parents that understand
I want it to be really informal, but if we do get people in, to maybe have the odd person come along to chat to us ... (DP's, Relaxation, deal with stress, kids behaviour ect etc)
But how do I get the parents in? I know I need support and would love to have other parents to chat with. It is not just going to be for the parents of this school, they can bring friends along, as long as they have a child with a disability
so this is where you help me?.......................
- What would get you to come along?
- what would stop you from coming along?
- what could I put in the letter to make you come along?!!
- any idea's what I shall call it? Was going to call it "Coffee Break"??? or is no name needed and just refer to it as a coffee morning? but does that sound a bit old womanish?!!
Thanks so much for any advice, this is something I have never done before and want to do it properly and enable parents to get the support they need
