Outside the Box
“I’m feeling more positive about everything”
It made me think about my parenting different and in a positive way. It didn’t make me feel like a bad parent, just highlighted some things I could adjust and change to help my children and our relationship together.
Pinpoint parents and carers really relax with your approach Suzanne 😊
It has helped me to think from my children’s perspective and to encourage them more than just praise as it helps build their self-esteem.
I really liked that the group has a verbal contract set up at the beginning which outlines boundaries such as confidentiality, this will make parents feel safe and more able to share.
I benefitted from not feeling so alone when I attended this course.
The content of the workshop was good, and the breakout room discussions were a great way of getting us to interact in smaller groups whilst ‘thinking outside the box’.
For me as a parent I like hearing the perspective of other parents as it often helps me think of things I may not have before.
Content was delivered is nice simple language and no jargon which can often confuse and worry parents.
The only thing I’d say is perhaps a question and answer at the end but also like how it was structured, and it worked well.
It was a very good, practical and informative 4 sessions course. Lots of advice, tips and strategist delivery by experts that we can apply in our life as a family and on our daily activities. During the 4 sessions we talked about the importance of our own wellbeing as a parents and cares, and this is extremely important. It was excellent.
5* across the board.

Build Your Rainbow
Family Support Practitioners
“I feel more confident supporting parents now”

“I stop before I act now and reflect on my behaviour and what to do or say next”
“I liked the 4cs as I hadn’t seen this model before”
“I liked that the strategies were transferable – I could use them at home with my daughter and with the students at school”
“This course refreshed my awareness with parenting issues and skills”
It is very refreshing to know and feel that you are not the only one going through / dealing with certain behaviours. Don’t be shy to share your stories or opinions as they may help someone else going through something similar.”
