Positive Regard Parent & Carer Workshops – Supporting Families with Compassion and Confidence

We have now completed our successful run of Positive Regard Parent and Carer Workshops, and we’d like to thank everyone who was able to attend. These sessions were designed to provide practical, supportive strategies for navigating family life and strengthening communication between children and adults at home.

Across the four weekly sessions, we explored a range of valuable themes:

🧠 Understanding Behaviour – Why children make the choices they do, and how we can respond with empathy and insight.
💛 Supporting Well-being at Home – Recognising dysregulation and how to help children return to a calm, safe state.
🗣️ Strategies for Positive Communication – Ways to express expectations and values clearly, while nurturing connection.
🤝 Managing Challenging Behaviours with Empathy – Using active listening, attunement and relationship-building to support children with proportionate and related consequences, rather than punishments.

We know that children don’t come with a handbook, and as a school, we are committed to working in partnership with our families to create supportive, informed communities where children can thrive.

We hope that all who took part found the sessions meaningful, helpful, and encouraging. Thank you for journeying with us as we continue to place positive relationships and well-being at the heart of all we do.
