Five sessions on toddlers

Five sessions about "What Makes Toddlers Tick" will be run by Uniting Care Burnside at Beachside Family Centre, in the grounds of Umina Public School, in March.

Designed for mums, dads and carers of 18 month to three year olds, the group will provide an opportunity to consider what is normal behaviour, how to deal with tantrums and sleep problems and generally cope with the challenges of parenthood.

"This has been a very popular group in the past with those attending gaining confidence and some very practical management ideas," said Beachside Family Centre facilitator Ms Debbie Notara.

"The fact that we also have child care available for the cost of a gold coin donation allows parents to attend and gives the children an opportunity to socialise with other children."

The course is free of charge and bookings are essential to ensure a place.

The course runs on Wednesdays from 10am to noon starting on March 1.
