Parent Groups

Read with Me

‘Read with me’ sessions are an opportunity for you to come into your child’s class and listen to them read or share a story together. In addition, each week have a focus for example ensuring your RWI e-book logins are working, other weeks there will be opportunities for you to watch a RWI phonics lesson in action!

Timid to Tigers

Parenting can be challenging, let us help.

We are very excited to tell you about a unique opportunity happening at Grove Street. Timid to Tiger, a parenting course for parents/carers of anxious children as well as a worry management group for children, is coming to our school.

Timid to Tiger is an entirely parenting-based approach to managing anxiety in children It is based on evidence that anxious children benefit substantially from a parenting style that is clear, calm and consistent.

The group is run by Jen Shaw from Healthbox and aims to explore the role of anxiety within a family and how it develops. It is run weekly over an 6-week period (Tuesdays from 1:30 – 2:30pm). We will have fun and there will be tea, coffee and biscuits!

The course covers:

• Struggling with anxiety
• Improving relationships
• Praise and reward
• Attachment based play
• Cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT) 
• Managing behaviour with consequences
