We have been involved in the Sunnynook Flood Response and we understand many families in Milford are also affected by the Jan 27th Floods. Families tell us the recent flood and cyclone have unsettled their children and they have lots of curly questions. We have invited Jenny Hale, Senior Parenting Coach to provide parents tips about how parents can talk to their children after these natural disasters to calm and support them through this time.

Sunnynook Community Centre
Tuesday, 7th of March7.00 pm $5.00 entry fee or koha.

This talk will be an excellent opportunity for parents to learn some new parenting techniques and strategies to nurture their children through these worrying times. Parents of pre-school, primary, and intermediate should attend and there will be some transferable tips for talking to teenagers. Jenny Hale has developed a career around providing parenting support for young children and has a wealth of knowledge to share.
