Description

This 9 session/lesson course about parenthood has been designed for delivery in schools for teenagers. It has mainly been delivered to adolescents aged 14-15 years, but it could be delivered to younger adolescents. It is based on the Solihull Approach model, so it emphasises the importance of relationships, emotional support and the relationship with the baby. It introduces adolescents to their own brain development in order to engage them in the baby’s brain development and the key role that parents play in this. It has (hopefully) a lively mixture of interactive learning activities and information.

The Manual has detailed lesson plans and includes all the information needed for the course. It includes an optional session with a mother and baby. Teachers/facilitators need to have completed either the 2 Day Foundation Training or the Solihull Approach Whole School Training before delivering this course.
