Practical strategies to manage conflict, improve communication and support children.

In this 90 minute in person workshop, we recognise that parenting can be a hard role, especially in today’s challenging world of a cost-of-living crisis, post pandemic with ever increasing stressors.

Arguments and disagreements in parenting relationships are normal, however if it is frequent, intense, and poorly resolved it may impact on the outcomes of children. ​This is an introductory workshop following our stepped approach to supporting families in Warwickshire and is about helping families deal with any issues as early as possible.

Who is it for?

The Parenting Together workshop is for parents (including expectant parents) of children 0-19 (25 with SEND) living together and those living apart. It is suitable for co-parents in separate homes, single parents supported by other adult carers, extended families, and blended ‘step’ families. The word “parents” is used to refer to anyone in a parenting role, including foster carers, grandparents, etc.

Some of the areas the workshop covers:

• Support a better understanding of how interparental relationships and communication can impact on children and young people.

• Provide opportunities to explore and discuss common triggers for disagreements and conflict such as parenting styles, finances, housing and wider family members and friendships.

• Identify the difference between destructive and constructive communication and how this can impact effective co-parenting relationships.

• Explore some strategies for managing effective co-parenting and keeping children in mind.

• Signposting and support available for parents and carers in Warwickshire through the Family and Relationship Support Team.

(This is a general overview and if further support and advice is identified, contacts and referral pathways will be available at the end of the workshop)
