Free online learning is being offered to help families tackle parenting challenges.

It is part of an East Riding of Yorkshire Council programme designed to improve the health and wellbeing of children and teenagers.

The Solihull Approach guides aim to help parents develop confidence and resilience and better understand their children's feelings.

Councillor Victoria Aitken said the introduction of the guides was an important step to help people across the county access "the right support at the right time".

The online learning is tailored to the different stages of children and young people's development.

Parents and carers can learn about brain development, challenging behaviour, communication and relationships.

The guides are available through the council's website.
