What's on at ParentSpace 2024
PARENTING CHILDREN WITH ADDITIONAL NEEDS
Starting Thursday 22nd August
12:30-2:30pm Our Parenting Children with Additional Needs course is starting soon in Melrose, spaces are limited so book your place today! Seven weekly sessions for parents/carers of 3-11 year olds with additional needs We start by looking at what life is really like living with your child who has additional needs, helping them reach their potential and how to keep going. We consider how to boost self-esteem through play and learning, respond with good listening and how our parenting style affects our children’s responses. Next we explore how you can talk to your child about their condition, other people’s reactions to your child and recognising and coping with feelings. Why do our children act the way they do? We look at the many reasons behind behaviour, the vital subject of setting boundaries, why children need them and why they can be hard to set. Following on from this is the value of routines, praise, and consistency and exploring a toolkit of discipline strategies. Home and school are often big issues and we look at how the school might support your child’s learning, how you can play a part in this and where to look for further support. Finally, there’s a chance to recognise the impact on the wider family and to review what the sessions have meant to you. All spaces are Free to book |
HANDLING ANGER IN THE FAMILY
Starting Monday the 3rd of June
11am to 1pm
We know parenting is the hardest and most important job in the world and we’re here to try and make it a bit easier. The sessions include some evidence based learning, most of all it’s a chance to get together with other parents in the same boat, find out you’re not alone and support each other.
The first two sessions will help you understand anger as a natural emotion and how you can handle this safely using practical strategies and the idea of an anger river. The final two sessions look at equipping you to help your child understand how anger affects them, how to recognise when they enter the anger river and practical and tested ways of handling anger safely and healthily.
Join us at Abbey Row Community Centre, Kelso TD5 7BJ, weekly, starting on Monday the 3rd of June from 11am to 1pm.

Our Parenting in the Primary Years programme runs over six weekly sessions and is aimed at all parents and carers of children aged 5 to 11 years old. A wide range of topics will be covered helping provide you with the knowledge, advice and insight to parent with increased confidence.
The primary years are an exciting time when children are developing friendships and discovering more about who they are and what they can do. These sessions help to support child’s emotional wellbeing through understanding their temperament, meeting their needs and communicating well.
We’ll explore how our parenting approach influences family relationships and consider a toolkit of behaviour strategies to allow us to decide what best suits our family situation. We’ll discuss helping children make good choices and understand friendships both in the real and online worlds.
Session 2 will take place at Cranshaws Village Hall.
