Parents will further their abilities in spending positive time with their children, praising and rewarding, setting limits, dealing with disobedience and helping their children to problem solve. The aim is to support a more enjoyable family life and kids who can get on better with others and succeed at school. The programme is delivered over a period of approximately 14 weeks.
