According to its recent participants, Walking with Fragile Families is an immensely rewarding and in-depth course, focused on the emotional intelligence of the child.
The current programme, run by Experiential Play, covers eight presentations over two months and a visit to four settings in Belfast.
Underpinning the course is the question, how does a fragile family background affect a child's social and emotional intelligence?
Nikki Gunn, acting deputy of the Parkside Community Nursery in Glasgow, says 'The presentations are very powerful and the course has had the ability to take me back to how I felt as a child, and explore childhood emotions.'
She praises its practical dimension. 'It is very much about sharing ideas and good practice. One session looks at creating a positive environment and ideas to encourage bonding, emotional engagement and positive play.'
