Day 5 of the parenting workshop is about self-care. Encouraging you to take time out of your week to relax and recharge. Caring for any child can be tiring. If you are going to be the best version of yourself, it is important that you take time for yourself. By completing a self-care activity, that takes just 10-15 mins.

The avoiding angry outbursts parenting work-shop, is designed to help you learn how to help the child. Behind anger is often a mixture of negative emotions and self-beliefs. This can lead to a child feeling angry and display as an angry outburst.

Mum Diary

A friend invited me to the theatre. Usually I would talk myself out of it. Too expensive, I need to do bedtime, what if one of the kids gets sick!Yet this week was the "Avoiding Angry Outbursts" bootcamp. Day 5 "Me Time". So I knew it was time to put me first.

I find if I react to my child's anger, it makes it worse. Yet when I am tired and not had a break. I get less patient and less able to deal with her anger.This week was also half-term. The holidays are always challenging. So I agreed to go to the theatre. Giving me a well deserved treat to end the week.
