BACKGROUND FOR THE FACILITATOR
The activities allow parents to practise important patterns of interaction between themselves and their child in fun ways. The joint
activities may help the parent to see what works and what does not work in their relationship and how to accommodate each other.
Children
(Refer to Activity 2 for explanation of individual activities). Help the parent to relax by emphasising the fun element and related shared
experiences of the activities with their children.
