Here’s what other parents said after the programme

Parent A:

I have learnt a lot from this course overall its a great experience for me and my child. The course has given me confidence and a great boost at being a parent. The tutors that are running the course never judge me or anyone. My son has learnt a lot with the activities that were given on the course, and he has learnt how to share things. The buddy group has helped me with advice on parent skills and much more.

Parent B:

I would recommend this course to anyone raising a child. It has transformed my relationship with my kids! Incredible Years has been fantastic and my children are much happier. Tt has helped me to see how my children see things, so I can help them to express things in a better way. It has helped me to work though my sons separation anxiety and he now walks into nursery on  his own and settles happily. The course has made me more confident, and less anxious about how I am coping with parenthood.
