Upcoming Family Matters Courses

Please see below information from York Family Matters about their courses and events starting in November.

Hello!

Trick or treat?!

Family life and parenting can be full of sweet surprises and unexpected joys. Whether it is seeing your child enjoying splashing in puddles, kicking carefree through the autumn leaves or snuggling up for a cuddle, parenting can be a real treat! But, it can also be tricky. Whether it is facing an unexpected meltdown, dealing with squabbling & fighting, or daily battles over screentime, parenting can leave us feeling confused, drained and isolated.

However you are feeling this Autumn, Family Matters York is here to help support you. We offer FREE parenting and couples support to help you make small steps of change in your relationships. As a result of our courses & events, 92% parents said they felt more confident in their parenting and 78% parents noted improvements in their relationship with their child.

Why don’t you sign up TODAY for a course? We hope that you too will experience improvements in your relationships and find support in knowing that you are not alone!

E-safety Advice for Families – Dealing with Upsetting Content

Supporting Children to Deal with Upsetting Content – A Guide for Parents and Carers

They might not be able to pinpoint its location on a map, and they might not fully grasp the historical and political drivers behind the conflict – but in this age where news, images and video can cross continents in seconds, many children are now aware of the terrible recent events in Israel. It’s a situation, of course, that could cause youngsters extreme distress and worry.

Our #WakeUpWednesday guide contains some valuable pointers for supporting children to deal with upsetting content they’ve encountered online – whether that’s the attacks in Israel, ongoing worries over the environment, or something else entirely. Our tips will assist trusted adults in helping young people to process any negative emotions that they may be feeling.

E-safety Advice for Families – Sharing Photos Online

What Parents and Carers Need to Know about Sharing Photos Online

In 2021, the NCA cited that 42% of parents in the UK share pictures of their children online – half of them doing so at least once a month 👶 Why would they not? Parenthood – and the magical memories we create with our children – is something to be celebrated and chronicled: in an ideal world, at least.

In reality, the topic has become increasingly complex – with respect for other people’s children who might also be in the photos and our own child’s future feelings among the considerations. This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide assesses the potential pitfalls of publicly posting our pics.
