How the programme was developed?

The parent training programme was developed from concrete feedback the Limerick Child Care Services had received from parents over the last few years. This feedback identified that parents wanted a programme that supports them in meeting the challenges that parenting in the 21st Century presents. They felt that they skills that would help them meet the challenges of parenting in the 21st Century are Time management, Goal Planning, Dealing with Difficult Situation etc.

What is the course about?

We all talk about getting the balance right; however, this can be a real struggle for any parent in modern Ireland. Parenting in the 21st Century brings with it new challenges, where the ways of old are no longer supporting parents. These challenges are unique to this time in Ireland and this programme supports parents to review what new techniques they can learn to insure they are coping and adapting to the challenges parenting in modern Ireland presents.

The course aims to put parents back on track, supporting them to set personal and family goals as well as learning how to finally take action to get the balance they need, so they can be a present parent for both themselves and their child.
