Parenting
All parents will at some point struggle with parenting their children and may need some practical support for a while, or advice on what to do when parenting becomes a challenge.
Haringey’s Early Help Partnership can provide you with effective parenting support.
Why get support
Effective parenting can help with:
- building and strengthening a healthy parent-child attachment
- developing and supporting positive parent-child relationships
- supporting educational achievement and attendance at school
- promoting good mental and physical health and well-being within the family
- supporting and building strong home-school links
- creating an enthusiasm for lifelong learning
- strengthening social support networks
- improving economic well-being of families
- encouraging independence, resilience and aspiration
- builds more cohesive communities
- reduces disaffection, truancy, exclusions and offending behaviour
Types of support available
Parenting support comes in many forms, from intensive family support, parenting programmes and workshops, short-term support, or advice with specific issues.
Activities include an extensive range of different support options, ranging from baby yoga to family therapy sessions, and from coffee mornings to breastfeeding support groups.
