Time Together is a structured home-visiting intervention that has used play to enhance the parent-child relationship and has provided the essential building blocks for children's positive social and emotional development.
Over the years, the programme has consistently helped parents to understand the world from their child's view, to recognise that a child's emotional response to a situation will be different from an adult's and to understand that their children are lovable and sociable beings who also like to please and respond to nurturing environments.
The 15-week programme was developed by the Somerset Educational Psychology Service in 2002 in response to the social, emotional and behavioural needs of some local young families and it now complements the authority's home-visiting work and parenting support in local Sure Start children's centres.
