We understand that sometimes
family life can prove challenging, for many different reasons.
This could include managing your own responses to difficult feelings or
behaviours, setting up age appropriate routines and boundaries or
simply requiring some information about issues that face you or your
child.
Families often benefit
from talking through their experiences with a third person. The family
support workers have a sound understanding of child development, family
life and parenting issues.
Talking with a family support worker can:
• Offer you a chance to be listened to.
• Help you put a realistic perspective on the current situation.
• Enable you to identify and focus on your personal strengths to achieve your desired outcome.
• Discuss your existing parenting approaches and
introduce new ideas where appropriate.
Your Family Support Worker will:
• Arrange a meeting with you, either at home, at the Children’s Centre or school.
• Listen to what you feel the difficulties are.
• Help you to agree the areas you want to focus on.
• Work directly with you and your family on the areas you have agreed.
