We are now taking names for our next parenting course that is due to start at the end of September. The course is called Family Links, it is a 10 week course to support parents and carers with behaviour at home. Throughout the course, we will discuss different strategies that can help to improve behaviour. These strategies are used in school by ALL of our staff, they provide the children with continuity throughout the school day. Our children here at Burlington know how they are supposed to behave and what is expected of them. They flourish knowing that there are firm, fair, consistent boundaries in place. This goes towards making our environment a happy, safe place to be. I often hear parents saying that they wish their children would behave at home the way they behave at school. Join our course and notice the difference. We get amazing feedback from parents who have completed the course saying how it has changed their lives and their home is a more peaceful happier place to be.
The course runs for 2 hours every Friday over a 10 week period, twice a year. It is not only about parenting, it takes your welfare into consideration as well. We do a lot around looking after yourself and recharging your batteries, after all, if you are running on nothing, how can you be expected to look after others. Wonderful friendships have been formed throughout our courses and many of the parents still meet up.
If you would like a place on our next course please book it early as we fill up very quickly. The course will give you a chance to meet and chat with other parents who are usually having the same problems at home as you. There is no charge for the course and you will be given a lovely book that will see you through the 10 week program and will be yours to keep and refer back to. If you are interested in joining us in September, please let the school office know as soon as possible.
And finally, our positive thought of the week:
The journey of 1000 miles begins with one small step.
