Welsh Labour’s Communities and Tackling Poverty Minister, Lesley Griffiths, has announced a new campaign providing advice for parents on positive approaches to raising children.
Mike Hedges AM said…. ‘I welcome this new campaign to improve parenting skills; this work will compliment work already being undertaken through work at places such as Flying Start projects. I hope that parents will look at the website and pick up tips on how to encourage better behaviour from their children through spending time talking with them.’
‘Parenting. Give it time’, which will start this autumn, will highlight how offering encouragement and praising children for good behavior is more effective than harsh punishments when children do things wrong.
Parents will be encouraged to give time to talk and listen to their children and given tips on how to encourage better behaviour, by adopting positive parenting strategies. It will also highlight the need for parents to look after their own well-being and help them manage stress.
From the autumn, ‘Parenting. Give it time’ will promote positive approaches to raising children through a number of different media channels. A dedicated website will provide parents with parenting tips, information, advice and signposts to sources of further support.
