Who developed Real Parenting?
Real Parenting has been developed by Spurgeons. We create family hubs where we’re needed most, providing support with mental health, special educational needs, domestic abuse and all of family life’s challenges. We work through centres, churches, schools and prisons. Putting children first in everything.
Motivated by a strong desire to help more families thrive, Spurgeons has put their decades of mental health and family support experience to good use. ‘Real Parenting’ equips community leaders such as churches and other organisations to deliver safe, effective parent support in local groups.
A series of parenting workshops, which offer an opportunity for parents to share their struggles and explore practical solutions, helping you to build positive relationships and find greater happiness in your family life.
Is the Real Parenting course suitable for me?
The course is designed for parents of babies, toddlers and children of primary school age.
What can you expect if you attend one of our free Real Parenting workshops and courses?
Over four 1.5 hour sessions, the community leader will share engaging videos, facilitate lively group discussions and give simple, effective tips and guidance to help you get the best from your children and enjoy being a parent.
When the parenting skills workshops are complete you will also be given the opportunity to stay connected with your local group, your community facilitator and the wider Spurgeons digital family hub online, so if you do want more support, we will still be here for you.
Why do we call it ‘real’ parenting?
There are too many parenting courses out there that do not acknowledge just how hard parenting really is. Real Parenting aims to keep things real. We are not striving for perfection; we know the immense challenges that parents face and we never judge.
Real is an acronym which illustrates our approach to parenting; Realistic, Empowering, Accessible and Loving.
