Who we are and what we do
• The Family and Parenting Institute is an independent charity guided by a board of trustees working to champion families
• We are working for a family friendly society which recognises the whole family, values families in all their diversity, and promotes conditions which enable families to thrive

Raising happy children
• Talking and listening
‘Children who are able to
understand others and express
their thoughts and feelings are
more likely to have good relationships with other people and strong self esteem’

Raising happy children
• Exploring and growing up
‘In essence this role (of parent) is one of being available, ready to respond when called upon to encourage and perhaps assist, but to intervene actively only when clearly necessary.’
A Secure Base, John Bowlby

A final thought…
‘Mothers with babies are dealing with a developing, changing situation; the baby starts off not knowing about the world, and by the time they have finished their job the baby is grown up into someone who know about the world and can find a way to live in it, and even to take part in the way it behaves. What a tremendous development!’
The Child, the Family and the Outside World, D.W.Winnicott
