The family is the focus of children and young people and families/carers must develop self-confidence to participate in play activities with their children. Some families may feel that raising their children is very hard where there are periods of stress, loneliness, tiredness and worry for their children. On the other hand there are periods of joy and unconditional love which provide the opportunity to build confidence, not to worry unnecessarily and take one day at a time. Children's development and identity is influenced more by parents/carers than anyone else, therefore it is important that they are confident in guiding their children correctly.
Some settings encourage parents/carers to help to prepare activities for the children e.g. gardening, story time or cooking. This will give parents/carers confidence when parenting so that they understand how important their role is. It may also help the parents/carers to build a robust relationship with their children. The majority of settings have an 'open door' policy where parents/carers are encouraged to call in at any time. This will lead to a strong partnership between them and the staff, developing positive attitudes with the children and their families feeling safer and more confident. By respecting parents'/carers' views and wishes, and recognising that they know their child best, they can be encouraged to play a significant role in their children's education.

Y teulu yw canolbwynt plant a phobl ifanc ac mae’n hanfodol bod teuluoedd/gofalwyr yn meithrin hunanhyder i fedru cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau chwarae gyda’u plant. Gall rai teuluoedd deimlo bod magu eu plant yn broses anodd iawn ble ceir cyfnodau o straen, unigrwydd, blinder a gofid am eu plant. Ar y llaw arall ceir adegau llawn hwyl a chariad diamod sy’n gyfle i fagu hyder, i beidio mynd o flaen gofid a chymryd un dydd ar y tro.
