Healthy lifestyle advice for families with young children
We provide a Start Well Sheffield Family Programme for parents and carers who have children under 5 years of age.
Come and find out why children’s behaviour can be challenging and learn ways to respond to this type of behaviour and much more.
The sessions are fun and very informal. The focus is about giving your children the very best start in life and includes discussions on: introducing healthier food, increasing activity and cutting down on screen-time. A creche is provided and you'll receive a toolkit to use at home.

- week 1: Let’s Make a Healthy Start
