Presented by Parent Partners in Education
As their children's first educators, parents play a crucial role in shaping their children's self-image and self-confidence.
Join us for an evening of parent-to-parent conversation as we tackle key issues such as :
- What strategies can help children develop a positive self-image?
- How can we help children develop self-confidence and face life's challenges with resilience?
- How can we support children so that they can take their future into their own hands with confidence?
This interactive workshop is designed to be a place for exchange and sharing. Parents and guardians are invited to share their experiences, thoughts and ideas, in a friendly and caring atmosphere.
This parents' evening will be hosted by Bertrand Ndeffo
