When working with families navigating their way through challenges, it can be helpful to have tools that support positive, respectful conversations. The engaging and visually diverse cards in this bundle are perfect for celebrating parents and carers and acknowledging their strengths and capacities.
The Early Years Supporting Parents and Carers bundle includes a range of strengths-based, solution-focussed tools to help parents and carers gently explore challenges and reflect on how they can take care of themselves while they care for their families.
This value pack includes:
- Two Worlds—a beautifully illustrated resource for families experiencing separation, significant transitions or life changes.
- Positive Parenting—a tool to help parents and carers reflect on their stories, strengths and family dynamics.
- Self-Care Cards—includes 50 engaging illustrations and a range of questions for exploring how we can look after ourselves, and others, in proactive and meaningful ways.
- Strength Cards Unlimited—explores how strengths are more than just personal qualities, they are also our resources, relationships, community, skills and beliefs.
Suggested uses for this pack:
- Each card set comes with exclusive access to an online Toolbox of extras, including a digital booklet containing activity ideas, access to a digital set of the cards, ideas banks, blogs, card hack videos, interviews and other support material.
- These resources can be used to support parents, carers, grandparents and anyone who cares for children, to recognise and mobilise their strengths and resources, share their stories and explore hopeful and meaningful ways to care for themselves and their families.
- Great for working with families from different backgrounds and in different settings—in classrooms, groups or one-on-one. They can also be shared with extended family to support their child’s development.
