Parenting can be both rewarding and challenging, especially when it comes to managing children’s behaviour at home. Every child is unique, and what works for one may not work for another, which is why finding the right support is so important. Whether you’re dealing with tantrums, defiance, sibling conflicts, or setting routines, you’re not alone—help is available. This page is here to guide you towards practical strategies, expert advice, and support services to help create a positive and calm home environment.
Family Toolbox is a support initiative for parents and carers in Wirral, launched in April 2022 in response to challenges families faced in accessing the right help at the right time. It provides free, easily accessible resources without the need for referrals or assessments.
Run by several local organizations, Family Toolbox focuses on empowering families by building on their strengths rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Its key principles include:
- Providing tools, not just answers, to boost confidence and skills.
- Encouraging collaboration and relationship-building.
- Keeping families in control by removing complex processes.
- Ensuring simplicity and accessibility in support services.
The goal is to help families find support early, preventing crises, with the platform continuing to evolve over time. https://familytoolbox.co.uk
