Parents – Raising Tomorrow’s Adults

Most parents have times when they need information to help them be the kind of parent they want to be or simply want to chat with another mum or dad. Groups and events for parents are friendly and supportive and are not about criticising, judging or ‘telling you what to do’. They are about having fun, sharing ideas and experiences with other parents, learning together and supporting each other. Would you like to make the most of your children, Swap ideas, share experiences and make new friends? One way you can do this is to join a group or attend an event happening in Epping Forest this term.
