It's My Child...

Veel ouders ondervinden genoeg uitdagingen tijdens het opvoeden van hun kinderen, het is immers de meest moeilijke taak die er bestaat. Ouders verliezen af en toe hun zelfvertrouwen in hoe ze hun kind het beste kunnen ondersteunen. Soms worstelen ouders met de relatie tot hun kind, denk hierbij vooral aan nieuwkomer ouders die met hun een eigen normen, waarden perspectief en opleiding komen en wat niet per se altijd past bij hun nieuwe omgeving.

Wij werken samen met verschillende scholen en organisaties.

Ondanks deze bijzonder tijden blijven wij ook online actief.
