Parenting Programmes for Families at Your School

Problems at home can spill over into the classroom, which can make teaching a lot harder. So, supporting parents to improve family life can make a big difference to schools. The Parents Plus charity is Ireland’s leading provider of high-quality evidence-based parenting programmes.  We are a social enterprise who recently received RTÉ Toy Show/Community Foundation of Ireland funding to extend our parenting programmes online. This means we can now reach every community, including yours. 

Our programmes make a measurable impact for parents, children and families. Our results show they reduce stress for parents by helping them to: 

·        Reduce conflict with their child, 

·        Have a more connected satisfying relationship with them, 

·        Cultivate improved behaviour, and

·        Gain skills in tuning-in positively, listening, communicating and problem-solving 

Teachers may know parents who are struggling and who want to learn new positive parenting skills to improve their family life, and help their children with schoolwork. 

We offer a suite of Parents Plus programmes across various age ranges and categories:

·        Early Years (0-6), covers daily routines, managing tantrums, encouraging learning, tuning in, emotional development.
