At Home-Start Portsmouth, they know that parenting is one of the most challenging, demanding jobs there is. It can also be one of the most rewarding – though it doesn’t always feel like that! They believe that the ideas from the Nurturing Programme/Parenting Support can help to make the job easier and more survivable when the going gets tough.
Home-Start Portsmouth’s Nurturing Programme/Parenting Support has been designed to help you build positive relationships, encourage co-operative behaviours and develop resilience in yourself and your children. The partnership approach of the Nurturing Programme & Parenting Support empowers parents to make change.
A 5-week programme to empower parents to build positive relationships by providing building blocks for positive, constructive relationships and confident parenting.
Based on four constructs, it provides adults and children with the understanding, skills and ability to lead emotionally healthy lives, build resilience, empathy, self-esteem, support positive relationships and alleviate social isolation.
The four constructs to support good emotional health are:
- Self-awareness
- Appropriate expectations
- Empathy
- Positive Discipline
