Show affection and acceptance
Making children feel loved, safe and secure is essential to their overall wellbeing. The first step towards this is showing affection and acceptance. In this module we will take a closer look at different ways you can demonstrate affection and acceptance in a warm and consistent way.
Connect
Open communication with your child helps them feel more comfortable to talk to you about what is going on in their lives. This module provides tips on how to encourage open communication and make the time to connect with your child.
Be involved
Being involved in your child's life shows them that you care. It also helps you to see any issues they may be facing and to observe their successes. In this module you will learn how to be appropriately involved in your child's life without becoming over-involved.
Encourage autonomy
Encouraging children to be independent in a developmentally-appropriate way helps them to build self confidence. This module will help you to learn how to strike the right balance between being involved in your child's life and encouraging autonomy.
Encourage supportive relationships
Supportive relationships allow children to develop loving bonds with other people. Children who have supportive relationships are less likely to develop depression or anxiety problems. This module will help you to identify, encourage and support such relationships for your child.
Establish family rules and consequences
Establishing clear family rules can help guide children's behaviour by setting out what behaviours are and are not acceptable in your family. This module will help you to understand how to work with your child to set boundaries and consequences that everyone can follow and what you can do when things sometimes don't go to plan.
Encourage good health habits
Setting up healthy habits around diet, physical activity, sleep and screen time early on can help these habits to be maintained as children grow. This module will provide strategies to encourage healthy habits for your child and improve the mental and physical health of your whole family.
Manage conflict in the home
Parents play an important role in helping their children learn to manage conflict in a healthy way. This module will provide strategies for how to manage conflict at home, to create a safe and supportive environment for your child.
Support goal setting and problem solving
Setting realistic goals helps children learn the importance of working hard to achieve something, even when it's tough. This module will show you how to encourage your child to set goals they can actually reach and how to handle disappointment when things don't go as planned. We'll also talk about ways you can help your child become more independent in solving problems.
Manage tough emotions
Everyone feels anxious at times. Sometimes when anxiety becomes overwhelming for a child they may need some help to manage it so that it doesn't get out of control. This module will help you to identify if your child is feeling anxious and how you can help them manage this anxiety.
Manage everyday emotions
Children who understand their emotions are more likely to be emotionally healthy. This module will provide strategies you can use to help your child identify and express their emotions in a healthy way and to develop helpful thinking patterns.
Seek help
All children experience ups and downs as part of growing up. Sometimes however, the downs can develop into depression and anxiety disorders and it is important for parents to be able to identify if this is the case. This module will help you to understand what to look out for and when it's time to seek help.
Talk about your mental health: Getting ready
Many parents wonder whether they should discuss their mental health challenges with their child and how they might prepare for these conversations. This module discusses the benefits of talking with your child about your mental health and provides tips to help you prepare for these conversations.
Talk about your mental health: Having conversations
The idea of starting conversations with your child about your mental health challenges can be daunting. Children may have questions or be completely quiet and it can be hard to know what to say. This module will provide you with tools for having these conversations with your child.
