Parenting in today’s complex and rapidly changing world can be incredibly challenging. Many of the issues we face and questions we struggle with are different to those that arose for parents in previous generations. 

Taking opportunities to gather, connect and speak with other parents can be an invaluable support as we navigate the ups and downs of our lives as parents. Our own Parents & Friends Association provides a wonderful avenue for this to occur in our own community, and new members are always warmly and enthusiastically welcomed.

As another avenue of support, you are invited to attend a conference for parents and carers of children in Catholic schools in the Jubilee Year of Hope.

At this one day conference, you will have the opportunity to listen to expert parenting presenters talk about consent and respectful relationships, cybersafety, building your child’s resilience, sleep, managing anxiety, screens and brain development, and supporting your child’s learning at home and at school. This conference will provide you with the information you need to parent in this increasingly complex age of technology.

I urge you to take a look at the information provide below and consider registering yourself and perhaps getting a group of parents together for what will no doubt be a very engaging day.

SUPPORTING FAMILIES: WORKING TOGETHER IN A MODERN WORLD

The Council of Catholic School Parents have begun to receive registrations and are confident parents and carers will find the speakers informing and enlightening. Included below is a link to the website conference page to provide further information. Additional information will be added in the coming weeks as planning develops further. If you require any additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact CCSP.
