Hi everyone and welcome back to parenting news and a very big welcome to all of you lovely new parents. I hope your children have all settled in. For those of you that don't already know me, my name is Terri Easty,  I am the family outreach worker for this school. I have worked with children for over 50 years now - I would like to say that I know everything there is to know but I don't think anyone could admit that. One thing that I can admit to though is I am dedicated to my role and I am always here for you to try and help and support you with any issue to do with parenting. If you have something that you would like to discuss with me individually, please email the school office and I will get in touch with you. It may be for advice on eating, sleeping, routines, behaviour, bedwetting, toilet training, I could go on forever, if it is anything to do with parenting and it is making your lives difficult, please reach out to me, together we can get through it.

We also run an amazing 10 week parenting course here at Burlington. The course is totally free and it is a great way to meet other parents with similar concerns. The next course is due to start at the end of September, if you would like more information on this or a place on the course, please do not hesitate to contact me via the school office. The course really is life changing and we have had some amazing feedback over the years.

Finally, as with all of my parenting news, I always add a thought for the week:

Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.

If you have a parenting concern, you can contact Mrs Easty via the school office - admin@burlingtoni.org.uk
