" Mellow Parenting has provided me with a great insight into ways in which parents can manage their child's behaviour. There are approaches we have discussed which I have never thought of before "
Promoting Parent Child Relationships
Mellow Parenting is a family of programmes developed to support parents and their children in making good relationships.
The foundation of all the programmes is attachment theory with particular emphasis on the transmission of attachment and relationship styles across generations. So, if you have had poor relationships with carers in your early childhood, evidence shows that it is harder to make good relationships now, with services, partners and of course your children.
Evidence based programmes
- Going Mellow (for parents of children aged 2 to 5 years)
- Mellow Babies (for parents of babies aged up to 18 months)
