Sign up to free parenting course

A parenting course is being held in Blackpool

A free eight-week parenting course begins next week at children's centres in Blackpool.

Organised by Better Start, it will help parents learn practical communication skills for everyday life.

Nikita Hanslip, who attended the first course, said: “I would highly recommend this course to any parent in Blackpool.

“I didn’t think I’d like it but there wasn’t any judgement from anyone and I ended up really enjoying it.

“I now understand my five-year-old’s behaviour and it’s taught me how to get him to express his feelings better to me.”

Course dates are Tuesday September 12, 12.30 to 2.30pm at Claremont Children’s Centre; Wednesday September 13, 9.30 to 11.30am at Revoe Children’s Centre, and 12.30 to 2.30pm at St Cuthbert’s Children’s Centre; and Thursday September 14, 9.30 to 11.30am at Mereside Children’s Centre.
