Empowering
There was a parent who was really struggling to understand their child’s behaviours. These behaviours frightened them because they were unsure of what to do or how to handle them. Should they be very traditional in their parenting- which they had hated as a child themselves, or should they try something more inclusive? They didn’t know which way to turn.
One day at school pick up time, they heard another parent talking about the Empowering Parent sessions they had just completed and how these sessions had changed their lives forever. In the 6-week programme they had learned that behaviour is a communication system, they had also learned how to boost the self-esteem of their child without having to leave their home. The parent asked for contact details and emailed as soon as they returned home.
The recommendation to talk to Sarah about how to manage the self-esteem and emotions of our children, is possibly one of the best recommendations I have ever received. Sarah is warm, kind, open and her ‘so easy-to-implement’ strategies are very reassuring too. Working with Sarah has undoubtedly helped our family and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for support.
Can you relate to the parent above?
– Many parents can and are.
The Empowering Parent & Carers Programme sessions are usually weekly & online.
The online sessions are accompanied with a supporting pack, full of more ideas and suggestions and also email and phone support is available should it be needed. The sessions are usually private, with just one family – but may be in small groups too. These sessions have such amazing results as working with the adults is empowering – my programme is purely based on boosting self-esteem & understanding behaviours.
Please do email to arrange a complimentary session for further details.
Sarah offers a similar programme to professionals and volunteers, to help them boost the self esteem of the children they work with and to help them understand that behaviour is a communication system. Sarah strongly believes that it takes a community to raise a child and so it’s best when everyone is on the same page.
If you are a professional or organisation then please email in the first instance, to arrange a time to see how we could work together, at perhaps a staff meeting, TD day, workshop leader at your conference or to lead a parents session.
