What will I learn on the Parenting Intensive?

This is bespoke to your own unique family and children’s needs

The process starts with your completing background information forms, so you have clarity on where the hot spot areas are in your family life and you are clear about what your concerns and goals are. You will have a full personalised assessment of your parenting style and we’ll spend time exploring each of your children’s temperament and make up.

The VIP Parenting Intensive retreat will include what is described below and a lot more. We explore how to connect and communicate, how to validate children’s feelings, how to use discipline positively so that each mistake becomes a teachable opportunity and how to be in charge in a firm and positive way.

My work and toolkit are based on deep psychological research, but I present it in an easy to understand and accessible way so you can implement the tools immediately into your family life.

You will leave feeling optimistic and hopeful and able to look at the children with more empathy and understanding and secure in the knowledge you now have the tools to remain calm in the face of button pushing behaviour.
