Parenting group starts with school

Beachside Family Centre will be running a new parenting group called Inspire when school returns.

The group is for parents of children aged two to five years old.

The discussion group, run by Northern Sydney Central Coast Area Health, will look at what parenting is, what children need from a parent, the parent as a guide and teacher, the parent as a nurturer and the parent as a friend.

"This group will help you develop a strong and close relationship with your child and appreciate your own style of parenting that works for you and them," said Beachside Family Centre coordinator Ms Debbie Notara.

The group will operate on Wednesdays from 10am to noon, from May 17 to June 7.

Entry cost is free and child care is available for a gold coin donation.

Bookings are essential and can be made by contacting 4343 1929.
