Session 8: Being a Parent
Introduction
The facilitator can outline the main aims of this session as follows:

- For students to consider what skills they might like to use if they become parents or carers in the future.
- For students to understand the importance of using joint problem-solving skills, honour and empathy when experiencing difficult situations with their parents or carers.
