Parenting West Lothian - advice, support and training for parents

WELCOME TO THE PARENTING WEST LOTHIAN WEBSITE


Being a parent is probably the most difficult job we will ever do. We do it with no formal training and no pay - indeed it costs us quite a lot to do it! Everyone, including our children, seems to have a view on how we are doing and often the feedback does not feel very complimentary.

Services in West Lothian recognise the pressures on parents today and the need they have for information, strategies, support and exchange about a whole range of issues that they have to deal with. This website seeks to help meet that need in a way that respects parents' abilities and opinions.

If you are a parent, whether you are feeling quite confident and just need information on a particular topic or whether you feel you really need to change your approach in some way, we hope you will find something here that will help.

If you are a professional seeking to help parents, we hope you will find the range of services, resources and contacts that are listed here useful in your task.

How to use this website
The website is divided into two information sections - Parents and Professionals. Each section is then sub-divided into information on Pre-School, Primary and Secondary age children
