A recently launched parenting course in Oldham has been making a significant impact on local families. The initiative, which began this year, was developed after extensive training by the council's parenting officers, aimed at providing much-needed support to parents in the community.
Participants have expressed feelings of isolation and uncertainty in their parenting journeys, but the course has created a space for shared experiences and valuable insights. Many attendees have reported that the program has reminded them they are not alone in their struggles.
The course covers a range of topics, including effective communication with children, managing challenging behaviors, and fostering emotional resilience.
