Cornwall Council

This week we are joined by Kim, Educational Psychology, and Amy, Primary School Teacher, who are both involved with the St Austell Festival of Children’s Literature to talk to us about the National Year of Reading and how we can support children’s reading for pleasure. They will also give us a sneak peek of the upcoming Festival!

In this episode of our Child Development: From Birth to Adolescence series, Parenting Workers Amanda and Emma join us to explore the importance of self-care and emotional containment. Together, they discuss how looking after your own wellbeing helps you stay calm, support your child through big emotions, and create a sense of safety at home.

In the final episode of our Child Development: From Birth to Adolescence series, Senior Family Workers Lucy and Benn join us to discuss how we can stay involved and support young people during the later years of childhood.

In the final episode in our series on Domestic Abuse services in Cornwall, we are joined by Abi and Sian to tell us all about the Family Domestic Abuse Support Advisors and how they can support parents and families.

Following the last episode on Domestic Abuse services in Cornwall, we realised that there were so many more questions we didn’t have time for. This week we are joined by Fleur from Barnardo’s to tell us more about the Change 4 U offer.

In today’s episode, we are answering a listener’s question about the support available for families who are experiencing or who have experienced domestic abuse. We’re joined by a wonderful guest to talk about the support on offer and how to connect to that support.

In today’s episode, we explore a topic that can be a common challenge for families: sleep. We look at why sleep is so important and how we can help children with bedtimes, getting to sleep and getting a good night’s sleep.

Today we are joined by Jodie from YZUP with tips and advice about how to talk with your young person about drugs and substances, including where to go for more information and support.
