Learners say:
"Really useful, simple strategies to cover a range of behaviours given, as well as opportunity to discuss our own personal circumstances and behavioural challenges. Really feel far better equipped to try and improve the behaviour of my children."
"I learnt the five British Valves, the education system, the parent evening, phonics and lots useful websites. I am now able to read English books with my son, or be prepare to read books with him. I found this course really helpful that I can support my son at home, for example to review with him, understanding how is he doing at school, and how the school support my son too."
