About this course

Most parents and carers carry a nagging worry that they don't spend enough time with their children, or that they lost their temper once too often this week. You're far from the only one, and feeling closer as a family doesn't need hours you haven't got.

These 10 ideas for family wellbeing fit around real life. Some are about time, like short bursts of 'family golden time' with the screens away, or one-to-one time with each child. Others are about what you say, such as how to apologise to your child after a bad day without passing the blame, or leaving a scribbled compliment on a sticky note for them to find.

Start with one or two. There's a summary sheet to download, so you can come back for the rest.
