Grobrain Toddler - Family support services

What we do

GroBrain Toddler is a course for Mums, Dads, Partners and Carers of infants aged 1-3 years. Being a parent of a toddler can be a tricky time, as our little ones become more independent. The course is designed to help parents and carers to understand your toddler and learn why it’s so hard being a toddler!
GroBrain Toddler explores attachment, brain development and a focus on the vital role parents and carers play in ‘wiring up’ your toddlers’ brain. It also explorers the importance of laying the strong foundations for emotional wellbeing that will support the toddler later on in life.
There are five sessions, each session is delivered using activities, discussions, quizzes and time to chat to other parents and carers. Over the five weeks, you will learn about:
• Toddler brain development
• Attachment and emotional development
• Helping your toddlers manage their behaviour
• Understanding more about toddler behaviour
• Communication, play and school readiness

You are welcome to come to sessions on your own or with a partner or another relative that supports you in your care and the care of your child.
You will be given a booklet and other materials to support your learning during the five weeks.
