Parentalk is ideal for any parent who wants to discover ways to build on the relationships they already have with their children. Parentalk is not a teaching course on childcare, but an opportunity for parents of tots to teens to get to know themselves better, build on strengths, share with other parents and have fun! It uses video, discussion and practical exercises to look at common experiences and dilemmas, and ways to cope with them, in a relaxed, informal environment.

The course is normally run over five two-hour sessions. If you'd like to book a place on our next course, or simply want some more details, contact Janet & Harvey Leach on 01993 771851 or email Parentalk@coggesparish.com
