ADVISOR OFFERS TO HELP PARENTS CHANGE 'CHILDREN FROM HELL'
Sandbach parents are being offered the chance to hone their skills with the help of a positive parenting programme recently featured on national television. The programme is the result of 25 years of research and aims to make parenting enjoyable and rewarding by instilling more confidence in parents and children.
Local parenting advisor Joy Hazlehurst was asked to appear on I.T.V.'s “Granada Reports” to give parent tips on getting through the half term holiday and to share her thoughts on television’s many parenting programmes, tying in with the launch of a research project by Manchester University.
We are, without doubt, living in difficult times on a personal and global level. Many people refuse to watch the news or read newspapers for fear of it dragging them down. Many individuals are struggling financially, either through unemployment, losing their jobs or being overloaded due to workplace downsizing; relieved they still have employment but imploding under the pressure of carrying the extra workload once done by colleagues now made redundant. The disproportionate rise in cost-of-living to wages. Plus a diversity of personal and family issues that frequently come along to test us: abuse, bereavement, bullying (at home or in the workplace), illness, family breakdown, relationship worries, moving house/area. Phew, no wonder people come into counselling struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, low-self esteem, insomnia, exhaustion etc., and so forth.
