SKIP programme in accessible formats

SKIP (Strategies with Kids, Information for Parents) supports parents to raise their children in a positive way. It does this through a network of community groups, NGOs and parents. SKIP resources have been developed to help parents manage difficult times, such as tantrums, siblings rivalry and supermarket survival. Others give tips on how to be a positive parent.
