Supporting healthy family relationships
Good family relationships are enjoyable for their own sake and they also help your children feel secure and loved.
Parents are doing the best they can to care for their children at the same time as juggling work, friends, looking after the home and trying to keep their own relationship strong as a couple. There’s also no denying that having children, especially in the early years, puts a huge demand on everyone and relationships can suffer.
All relationships have tricky moments, what's important is solving any problems and getting help.
There are organisations and services that can provide advice, tips and support to help keep parental relationships strong and provide support and guidance if relationships break down.
Warwickshire County Council’s Marketing and Communications Team has been working very closely with the Children and Families service to produce a powerful animation video to highlight the impact of parental conflict on children. We would like to encourage schools to share the video with parents and across your own social media channels.
They have also created three shorter animation that can be played on a loop on screens in your reception or in other settings.
