What's on Offer...

There are plenty of resources for nurturing adults to examine, reflect, and try. There is a zone for those who are exploring parenting info and a zone for Children and Families colleagues. The four main topics Raising Children Together covers are;

  1. Child development,
  2. Feeling secure and building resilience,
  3. Understanding and responding to behaviour,
  4. Using play and creativity to support the previous three topics

Each topic highlights how evidence-based research supports raising children at home, in school, and in family services.

Who is it for...

Students spend many hours in school and they have their unique needs. The resources are designed to offer behaviour support and attachment strategies that celebrate the student’s uniqueness whilst supporting school values to raise the student’s potential.  

Parenting children and young people is a pleasure (and bewildering). Being flexible and adapting to the needs of children and young people is not always easy. Be assured this space uses evidence-based research to help with parenting approaches. When you delve into the resources, you will have fun, and understand the importance of self-care and resilience. You can trust all the content is developed through the lens of child development.

Children Service colleagues reading this means you can identify an array of early intervention resources to support families. It’s good when you can signpost to reliable information.

Are you studying to be a public sector colleague? You are learning many things. People can learn to become the most effective nurturing adult for children, young people, and their families. Use Raising Children Together to reflect on theory to practice.

Raising Children Together

 

A Word

From The Author

“I’ve created Raising Children Together to examine evidence-based research highlighting strategies to help raise children in school and at home. I use neuroscience, child development and attachment information to shed light on behaviour support strategies. When it comes to children and young people and the complexities of the world we live in right now, I believe, to quote my favourite Musical Wicked

I’m through accepting limits,
‘Cause someone says they’re so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I’ll never know

Between child, parent, school and other colleagues, we are trying our best with the resources we have… so maybe it’s time to have a look at those resources to ensure they are fit for purpose.

I’m proud of my interactive therapeutic eBook, How I Smashed a Plate, a resource that encapsulates the four main topics Raising Children Together focuses on. Each article or resource dovetails, building knowledge and skills to make intentional decisions that support the developing child.“
