Being a Parent

Parentline Plus

Being a parent is one of the most important jobs in the world, because parents hold the future in their hands. Parents need all the help they can get. Yet many battle on without any support or guidance.

Being a Parent helps you think about what support you and your children need. It gives ideas on how to make family life a little easier. It is full of useful exercises and takes a look at; how it feels to be a parent; how to meet parents' and children's needs; children's behaviour; why play is important; giving and getting support from other parents; building confidence in what you already know.

There are many different approaches to parenting. In our multi-cultural world, there is no one way of bringing up children that is right for everyone. Being a Parent helps you find out what works best for you and your children.

This friendly and helpful book can be used on its own or as a workbook for the Parentline Plus course, Understanding Children 1, which is accredited by the National Open College Network.
