"I only wish I'd known about it sooner"

About: Hallcroft Children's Centre

(as a service user),

Attended this course in March 2017. It was lead by Emily and Emma. It's been invaluable for me, my 3 year old and my husband. I had no idea what to expect from a course like this, whether I'd learn anything or if what I learnt would be effective but I did and it was! Emily and Emma were brilliant and I miss coming to the course. We've also found out about what the Centre does so we're planning to attend lots of activities. Special mention to the ladies in the creche too, my son loved coming in to see you and playing with you.

I learnt lots of techniques to help my son (and I) get the best out of whatever we do. I learnt and put in to practice ways to manage unwanted behaviour and it's starting to work. Although we're far from 100% calm we are now able to work through tantrums using the information I got from the course.

One of the most helpful things was being able to bring things to the group the following week and talk about what had happened and get tips and advice from the course leaders and from the other course members.

Please advertise this course and 123 Magic (which I plan to attend as well) as much as you can - GPs surgeries in Misterton and surrounding villages, anywhere you can think of. It's been a lifesaver for me - I only wish I'd known about it sooner as I know it would've helped me with many times of self-doubt.
