Where and When Would you like us to come to you?
We can come to observe you and your children in your home environment and give you some practical solutions for your hot-spots.
You will get the support and encouragement of one of our calm and positive facilitators when you are at home with your children.
We also offer private consultations for parents in your home for 60 or 90 minutes (please scroll down for further information)
A Home Visit to meet you and your child(ren)
A home visit is a great opportunity to get support and encouragement 'on the job'. During the home visits parents are observed with their children and coached in positive parenting practices. The facilitator will also be demonstrating the Parent Practice techniques so that parents can see first hand how to use the techniques with their own children.
We offer home visits to parents based in London (more distant destinations possible subject to agreement). The session will be a minimum of 90 minutes but may often be longer depending on the circumstances and is scheduled for at a time of day when the children and parents would normally be dealing with mealtimes, homework, bedtimes.
Prior to a home visit we like to familiarise ourselves with your family situation. We ask you to fill out a comprehensive background information form about you and your family. Depending on the contents of the form, we may suggest that we meet prior to the home visit and talk through the sorts of skills and strategies we will be using during the home visit. This session is usually held at one of our centres at a time that suits (evenings are available) but this may not be practical for everyone and we are happy to discuss alternative arrangements.
Won't I feel embarrassed having all my faults under the microscope? One of our principles is to focus on and praise positive behaviour so if there is more positive behaviour than normal then we encourage you to notice it and praise your child and see the results yourself. Initially the facilitator stands back and observes the parent(s) and child(ren) and may make quiet comments to the parent(s) therefore the children often cease to pay much attention to the facilitator and carry on as normal.
Will my children will behave much better than normal with someone else there?Our facilitators are there to support and encourage you not to criticise. Parents report that they gain a huge amount from a home visit and rather than feeling judged they feel empowered to make positive changes.
Sessions are generally 90 minutes long (unless it is part of another programme) and are held at one of our centres or we can visit you.
