Recently all of the staff at Westfield Primary School and Westfield Nursery Class received training in the Solihull Approach, which helps practitioners and parents develop an understanding of brain development in children and young adults.  Lanarkshire Health Board have set up online training for parents, which can be accessed through the website detailed and entering the code shown on the leaflet.  Attached too is a leaflet with information for post-natal mothers which looks at the relationship that develops between mother and child.  Hopefully, these will be of interest and use to our parents.
