The Solihull Approach ‘Understanding your child’ online course is a well-established and trusted way of understanding more about your child. ‘Understanding your child’ is for mums and dads and grandparents or anyone around your child. It was the first to receive the Government’s CANparent Quality Mark. Parents often say they feel calmer, more confident and have a better relationship with their child. The courses were developed in the NHS together with frontline practitioners from all sectors and with parents.     Buy Here antenatal_carla_pregnant_standing_faceleft
