Working Together to Promote Positive Behaviour
Most young children will have times when they have tantrums, argue, and hit out at each other as they are learning to share and negotiate. Key workers can help your child cope with these stages by offering support, calming them down, diverting them to other activities and helping them to become sociable and confident. If you would like further information on any behaviour issue, please speak to your child’s key worker, or a member of management team.

Triple P
The Wellbeing Worker is accredited to deliver Triple P Primary Care, which supports you with your child’s behaviour. This is delivered on a one to one basis over four sessions. Please speak to the Wellbeing Worker if you would like more information. Further information can also be found at, glasgow.triplep-staypositive.net

Nurture
Glasgow City Council seeks to ensure our city is a nurturing City and provides staff training on Nurturing Principles which are:

• Children and young people’s learning is understood developmentally
• The classroom offers a safe base

• The importance of transition in young people’s lives

In our 3-5 playroom we have a nurture room. We have a dedicated staff member who’s role it is to support children through our nurture programme. In keeping with the theme of flowers and trees in Scotland our nursery room is called the “Wispy Willows”.
