Online course on supportive parenting

Supportive and positive parenting reinforces the child’s good behaviour and a positive relationship with the child. This kind of parenting avoids inconsistent punishment of the child or punishing the child for expressing their needs. A positive style of bringing up children is known to be associated with better school performance, fewer behavioural problems, better mental health, good self-esteem and good social skills. This course will introduce you to the principles of supportive parenting and give you tips on how to work with your child. This course with nine sections is founded on research-based programmes for supportive parenting.
