This course was developed by the not-for-profit organisation Hand in Hand Parenting and is based on over 40 years of work with children and parents. The Hand in Hand approach nurtures the parent-child relationship and focuses on children’s innate desire to love and be loved. It’s an emotion-focused approach that allows parents to put attachment theory into simple, everyday actions that strengthen and protect the vital attachment between parent and child including ways to set loving limits.
