This handbook aims to give information and guidance on a range of different subjects that are particularly relevant to the parents and carers of children aged 4-11.
Being a parent is a very rewarding experience. However it can be very challenging at times, as during each stage of a child's life there may be difficulties that have to be faced. Nobody is ever trained to be a parent and nobody is a perfect parent!
We hope that you find this handbook useful and that it will make your parenting a little less stressful, raise your awareness about where to go to for advice and make you feel more confident about your own parenting skills.
There is a list of national organisations at the back of this book.
