A GROUP of parents in Ebbw Vale met the minister for children to tell him about their experiences of parenting positively.
Huw Irranca-Davies chatted with parents who have benefited from support provided by Flying Start.
He also talked to parents who are NSPCC’s Take 5 Ambassadors.
They helped develop and promote the NSPCC campaign, which provides hints and tips to help parents keep calm in challenging parenting situations.
The Welsh Government says it is committed to introducing legislation to remove the defence of reasonable punishment in Wales and investing in support for parents.
Councils across Wales provide a range of parenting support, from information and advice, to parenting help groups and targeted and intensive support.
Mr Irranca-Davies said: “It was great to hear the views of the parents I met in Ebbw Vale today.
“They are strong advocates of positive parenting and by being Ambassadors for NSPCC’s Take 5 campaign will be encouraging other parents to get support when they need it .
“Parents can do a lot to encourage better behaviour in their children by adopting positive parenting strategies.”
