Parenting Week 2021 - Celebrating Parents

18Oct 22Oct

Awareness Week

Parenting Week 2021 is Monday 18 - Friday 22 October with the theme of 'Reset and Reconnect'.

What is Parenting Week?

The charity Parenting NI have been leading on Parenting Week for over 20 years and this year the theme ‘Reset & Reconnect’ has been chosen. Given the difficult and challenging experiences over the last 18 months now is a good time for parents to pause, reset and consider how they can reconnect with their families and the communities around them.

Parenting Week is a great way to celebrate, acknowledge and thank parents and also to encourage parents to think positively about the future ahead. 

Parenting NI has arranged a number of events to celebrate this week. For more information visit their website here.

Why is it important to celebrate parenting?

Parents have an incredibly special role to play within our society - they are raising our future generation. Parenting NI has a vision of a future where parenting is highly valued and so Parenting Week is an opportunity to recognise the important role parents have to play in children's lives and highlight the amazing job they do every day.
