As we head into the third week of lockdown and the Easter holidays, we will continue to face many challenges and may be finding it harder to stay at home. We want to remind you that you are doing brilliantly in such unique circumstances. This way of life seemed unimaginable a few weeks ago, but we are continuing to manage as best we can and get through these often long days!

Please continue to keep an eye on our social media pages as we continue to share tips and information for you throughout the pandemic. We are also available for emotional support for free on 0808 8010 722 and on web chat via our website.

Stay safe. Stay home.

Tips for parents during lockdown

We going to bring you some short video messages in the hope that you will find some of the information we share helpful during this time. Cahir, who is the Coordinator of our National Lottery Community Fund NI funded Dads Project, has shared this video with some advice for looking after yourself.

These are some of the daily tips we've been sharing on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. We will be sharing more on various topics over the coming weeks, so make sure your following us as we continue to grow our online community in sharing support for parents.

Supporting children with grief and loss

Sadly, at this difficult time, it is more likely that children and young people will experience loss. This new article on our website offers support on talking to your child about death, information on the ways they can express grief and what you can do to help them cope.

We all need something to look forward to at the minute, don't we? We're looking forward to celebrating Parenting Week with you all! Theme is coming soon but 19th - 23rd October will be all about the amazing job you are doing, not just now but always. We hope you will all show your support with us then and join the celebrations!
