HELPING parents cope with the many challenges of raising children will be the focus of a new course starting in Worcester next month.

The Parenting Children Course is aimed at parents, step parents or carers of children aged from newborn to ten and will take place over five weeks at St Helen’s Church on Fish Street.

The sessions – which start on Tuesday, November 4 – are based on Christian principles but are suitable for people with or without a faith, covering topics including ‘love in action’, ‘setting boundaries’ and ‘building character’.

The course costs £25 per couple or £12.50 for an individual, which includes refreshments and materials, with the two-hour sessions starting at 7.30pm.
