About this Event
Join us at MyPlace in Romford for a series of free, friendly and practical workshops for parents and carers of children aged 0–5.
Each week we'll explore a different part of early childhood and parenting – from understanding big emotions and supporting your child's mental health to navigating screens, sleep and potty training.
Come to one workshop, a few, or join us for the whole series – you choose!
