Parenting can be really rewarding, but it can also be tough at times.
We may notice changes in our children’s mood and behaviours. Some of these are normal and are part of growing up, however it can be difficult to know who to contact or how to help if we feel our children need some support.
Do you need help with...
If your child is struggling with their feelings, emotions or behaviours, our help sections offer information on how they might be feeling, some strategies to help improve these feelings and details of who to contact if you think your child would benefit from some further support.
