Parenting Ideas
To support you - our parents - and our teachers, St Matthew’s has now joined up with Parenting Ideas. Parenting Ideas connects parents and educators to expert child development knowledge through first class digital channels and they accompany it with a genuine human interface to make parenting support more accessible and impactful.
Through this website, we have videos, articles and other resources to share with you. We hope that this will support effective school and parent relationships.
The parenting techniques we employ have a significant and lasting impact on our children and their development. We all want the same thing for our students, and our children - to be happy, healthy, reslient and well-adjusted people. If you're interested in expanding your skills and confidence in effective parenting you can read up on the latest insights through one of Parenting Ideas' eGuides, or by watching one of their videos.
