Incredible Years - School Age Programme

The Incredible Years programme supports parents to develop confidence in being a parent. The group provides the opportunity to meet other parents whilst learning positive parenting strategies to increase the child’s self-esteem and reduce aggressive behaviour problems. Parents will develop an understanding of the different child developmental stages and how to manage misbehaviour as a child develops - to promote academic success in later life and build effective social relationships.

This programme is for parents who want to strengthen their relationship with their child and get the best behaviour out of their children. Parents receive a weekly call by the facilitator to help put ideas into practice at home.

Next programme: Starts in January 2024 and March 2024. To book contact parentingprogrammes@islington.gov.uk or call 020 7527 4343.
