The same trusted pathway, now available through WhatsApp: Understanding your child from toddler to teenager
We understand that family life can be busy. As part of our ongoing work to make support easier to access, ‘Understanding your child: from toddler to teenager‘ is now available on WhatsApp.
Delivery of this support through WhatsApp builds on the established ideas and format of this highly rated pathway. Its trusted, evidence-based content has already helped many parents and carers learn more about feelings, behaviour, development and relationships.
What the pathway covers
The pathway helps families think about:
- Child development
- Brain development
- Reading behaviours
- Processing feelings
- Different styles of parenting
- Rhythm of interaction
- Sleep
- Anger and self-regulation
- Repairing relationships after things go wrong
Built on the Solihull Approach model, the pathway helps families think about what may be happening beneath a child’s behaviour. It supports parents and carers to understand feelings, strengthen communication and tune into their child’s unique experiences.
It’s not about having all the right answers.
It’s about creating a space to pause, to think and to find a way forward together.
Support in small steps
The WhatsApp option means parents or carers can take small steps when the day allows, through a familiar and well-used app. Whether commuting, on a lunch break or thinking about scrolling after the children’s bedtime, we hope the bite-sized approach to learning will make it easier to access learning in small, manageable steps.
- Short, bite-sized stages
- Interactive quizzes to prompt reflection
- Practical ideas for everyday moments
