Parenting is challenging, parenting during a pandemic is.... extra challenging! It is hard. Parents are juggling work life, home life, learning at home, whilst also trying to manage the uncertainty and other stresses that living through a pandemic brings. In part two of this series we will debunk the myth that children need perfect parents! Edel Lawlor will explore the concept of “good enough parenting” and look at what this may look and feel like during a pandemic. You will leave with lots of new ideas to try out at home, or to suggest to the parents and carers your support in your work.

This innovative training session will explore the concept of “good enough parenting” and introduce participants to some playful ways to connect with and enjoy time with their children during the pandemic. We will tackle the tricky subject of “screen time” and consider what this looks like now as we make our way through this pandemic! The course is designed to equip parents and carers with tools for themselves and their children. Throughout the session, we will explore creative and playful ways to support and connect you and your children.
