Parents and Carers are children’s first educators and teachers. This is something most people agree on.
As a parent, you are not just ‘mum’ or ‘dad’. You are also a nurse, doctor, cook, teacher, coach, therapist, driver and cleaner – with no time off and no instruction manual!
Parenting can be hard work, and we know all parents and carers (including fathers) need help and support from time to time.
In Enfield, families remain front and centre of our vision, and caring and responsive relationships central to the work we do, because of its positive impact on children’s wellbeing and development.
Research shows that it is important for parents and carers to stay physically and emotionally well so they can help their children to thrive.
This Directory has a range of evidence-based parenting resources to support parents and carers through each stage of their child’s development while learning how to improve their own wellbeing.
