Supporting Our Families: The Nurturing Programme 🏠✨

We are delighted to share details of The Nurturing Programme from Wigan Council—a free 10-week course available universally to all parents and carers in our community. Specifically designed for families with younger children, this programme offers a supportive space to explore the “Four Constructs” of effective, heart-led parenting:

  • Self-Awareness 🧩
  • Empathy ❤️
  • Appropriate Expectations ✅
  • Positive Discipline 🤝

Why we believe this is a brilliant resource: Parenting is incredibly rewarding but can also be deeply challenging. We love this programme because it doesn’t just focus on “fixing” a child’s behaviour; it empowers parents to recognise their own emotions alongside their child’s. By providing practical strategies and tools, the course helps families move away from stress and towards a much calmer, happier home environment.

Whether you’re looking to pick up some new discipline techniques or simply want to understand why your little one behaves the way they do, this programme is a fantastic way to invest in your family’s emotional health and well-being. 🌟

The Details: 📍 Cost: Completely Free ⏳ Duration: 10-week programme 💻 More Info: Visit www.wigan.gov.uk or follow @WiganCouncil on social media.
