What is this course about?
The sessions are focused on how as parents we can support our family to be
happy, encouraging and calm. We start off with some theory on parenting and
family units, then look at practical examples focused on raising happy, safe,
and secure children. Ideas we focus on include rewards, consequences, rules, and
expectations. The course is based on nurture and attachment style
parenting.
What will I learn?
The sessions will be fun and practical with lots of information, activities,
and resources for you to use at home.
How will I learn?
There will be class discussions and interactive activities to support your
learning.
How will my learning be assessed?
There is no formal assessment on Family Learning courses. You will improve
your knowledge and skills so that you can move on to a Functional Skills course
if that suits you.
Entry requirements:
You need to be a parent / grandparent / carer of a child at Primary School in
Coventry (aged 3-11). Places are limited and will be allocated on a
first-come-first-served basis. When the course is full, no other enrolments can
take place. To enable you to fully access the information and activities
on this course you will need to be confident in Speaking and Listening at E2.
If you have a pre-school aged child, then our ‘Wider Family Learning’ course
may be more suitable. These are courses that children and their carers attend
together, like stay and play sessions. Our ‘English and Maths in the primary
school’ courses explain the ways these subjects are taught in modern British
primary schools.
