Parenting

"What’s the toughest job going? Firefighter? A&E Doctor? England Football Manager? How about a Parent?" (DfES Every Parent Matters)

Parents are powerful people and how they raise their children has a profound effect on their child’s life. Parenting at Reading recognises that at times parents may like or need some extra help or information, so we provide various programmes and workshops to meet these needs and to hopefully enable parents to be more equipped when dealing with parenting issues, therefore raising theirs and their child’s confidence and self-esteem.

To find out how to access our services, please see the Parenting Referrals page below. 

Please see below for a list of useful websites to help parents and those working with parents.

If you need any of our parenting information in any other languages, please let us know and we will do our best to provide a translation and, where possible, provide an interpreter to support parents to attend our courses.
