HENRY Program advice and family values

Posted By cyclonehn97

"HENRY Program advice and family values"

About: Children and Young People Services / HENRY Programme (Health, Exercise & Nutrition in Really Young)

(as a parent/guardian),

I had a really lovely experience doing the HENRY Program with Geraldine. She was extremely flexible and considerate of my time as I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old. I was able to choose dates and times for when the sessions would best suit me. Geraldine was very easy to talk to and provided some great advice and perspectives.

The Program helped me reconsider the most effective ways of teaching my toddler boundaries (which he has been keen to push back on as all toddlers do!). We now have a sticker system in place to reward him for following instructions which is working well!

The emphasis the HENRY Program places on praising the child, showing unconditional love, kindness and compassion are so important and work well with our family values.

Hello cycloneehn97,

thank you very much for taking the time to post this lovely review. I am delighted that you enjoyed completing the programme. At HENRY, we work together with families and support them to enjoy a happy and healthy life together. We focus on everyone's needs within the family and help to set achievable goals in order to provide the best start in life for the little ones.

I look forward to passing your review on to Geraldine who, like all of our facilitators, is a very passionate and dedicated practitioner. It is lovely to hear that she was very flexible with your needs as this is something we focus on. The programme is very family led and we try to work with everyone's needs as much as we can.

I wish you and your family all the best in the future.

Many thanks

Anne Crawford
