My husband is finding it hard to cope as a parent and I suggested he should take a parenting course, something along the lines of PET (parent effectiveness training, which is all about communication), but he has just been offered a free "solihull Parenting course".
The leaflet says: "The parents are supported in thinking about what
the child is telling them through their behaviour,
to support this approach the group programme
does not start with behaviour management
techniques, but rather helps build a solid
foundation then the behaviour management
techniques can be used effectively"
Anyone know about it? I suppose anything is better than nothing, but worry that it will be all about setting limits and time outs etc (behaviour management
techniques sound a bit worrying to me). I mean, I don't mind that my husband has his own parenting style but I can't sit by and watch him use methods like "naughty step" etc on our children...
