Helping Children Make Healthy Choices

For Parents

I wish I'd had this information years ago, when the children were younger

Our Work with Parents

Research shows that strong and positive relationships with parents, family members, teachers and other significant adults are factors in protecting children from risk taking behaviours such as drug misuse.

It's so good to know that I'm not the only one who finds things difficult at times

Positive parental interest and involvement in school life has also been proven to be a strong protective factor.

I've learnt that I need to reward my children for being good, which we very often forget to do

Our aim is to develop programmes, which help parents gain a deeper insight into health issues, enabling them to reinforce the work done in schools. Involving parents in this way can help both family and school give constant health promoting messages to children.

Life Education has developed Assembly and parenting programmes to include parents in activities which support the key healthy choices messages.
