Resources for parents and carers

All children, parents and caregivers need support sometimes. This section has some ideas, activities and information to help adults support the children in their life.

If you are a child or young person, you will probably enjoy this page as well. We’re pretty sure you’ll like the craft activities linked below. You may want to take a look at our young people’s page too. 


Help your child cope with big feelings 

When things are going wrong at home it can be difficult for the whole family. Supporting your child to understand the different emotions they feel, and that none of them are bad or wrong, can help them cope.


Looking for fun activities to try with your child? 

Doing an activity with your child can help calm and distract them, and it shows them that you enjoy spending quality time together. Spend a maker’s morning or a crafternoon on these activities. 


Are you a child in need of help? 

Whatever you need, there are people available to speak to you day and night. View our list of phone numbers, text support services and helpful websites.
