Supporting Calm and Connection at Home
Family life can be challenging, and arguments or tension are sometimes unavoidable. The NSPCC has published practical advice to help families manage conflict and reduce stress at home. Their guidance includes simple strategies for improving communication, staying calm during disagreements, and supporting children through emotionally difficult moments. It’s a helpful resource for any parent looking to create a more peaceful and understanding home environment. We encourage you to take a few minutes to read it and share it with others who may benefit.

Vaping – What Parents Need to Know

Vaping is on the rise among young people, and it’s not risk-free. We’re sharing a short guide to help you understand the facts, spot the signs, and talk to your child. It includes advice, support links, and what to do if you’re worried.

Many young people try vaping out of curiosity, peer pressure, or because of the flavours and marketing. But vapes often contain nicotine, which is addictive and harmful to developing brains. This guide also explains the law, how to report concerns, and how to safely dispose of vapes. Please take a few minutes to read it.
