Parent Sessions
We have organised a range of workshops and parental drop-in sessions for networking, support and offering practical advice, to build relationships between the parent community and Ark Boulton Academy.
Some of the sessions will be based on the following topics:
| Topic | Description |
| Identifying our own teenage experiences | For parents to reflect on their own experiences as teenagers and envoke compassion and understanding in order to deal with thier own teenagers. |
| Adolescence | To help parents understand that adolescence is a time of transition and change and that adolescents have particular needs. |
| Identifying our parenting style | The role and responsibilities of a parent to include provisions for daily life as well as love, care, support and discipline, what parents need to fulfil their roles and responsibilities, exploring different parenting styles. |
| Rules and boundaries | To help parents explore different approaches to discipline, setting ground rules with rewards and sanctions, learning new strategies for problem solving. |
| Bringing it all together | Reflect on previous sessions and share learning and practical tips. |
Please note: These sessions are currently on hold due to Covid-19 safety measures. Dates of future sessions will be given as soon as possible.
