If your child is starting senior school in September, this talk is for you. This year’s leavers are facing a particularly challenging transition. They need skills to help them manage any anxiety and set them up for a successful senior school career. We will explore how our parental role must change to meet their need for independence.
Finishing school is always daunting and, perhaps more so than ever with gap year travel suspended, summer work limited and uncertainty over what universities will be able to run. We will consider what we can do to help young people manage the transition to independent adult life and prepare them for the next stage of their journey.
Right now technology is our friend. It is how we will remain connected during times of isolation and it can provide almost limitless entertainment but that does not mean it should become a free for all. As parents you need to understand the positives and negatives of your children’s online world and encourage responsible digital use. This talk will give you the latest guidelines on screen time; screen use and the pitfalls to be aware of. It come with free access to our screen contract and a guide to negotiating the boundaries around screen time.
New dates to be released soon.
This talk is designed to promote self awareness and self management skills to build emotional resilience and prevent mental health problems. We will look at the science of thoughts and emotions to show how we have a great deal more control over our feelings than most of us believe. We will explore techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and neuroscience that young people can use to help themselves. This is particularly important in today’s world where too many of us have constant low levels of the stress hormones in our systems leading to serious long term health problems.
I hope that these sessions will prove helpful to you, as we all continue our parenting journey at a very testing time.

It is a stressful time for all family members and during this talk we will look at what we can do to manage any anxiety & protect our children’s mental health. We will consider how we can use this time to develop our children’s soft skills and increase their self confidence and what we can do to reduce the chances of conflict and manage any sibling rivalry.
Teachers have told us how stressful they are finding the change to remote learning with little structure, no common room interaction and all whilst juggling the needs of family and school. This talk is designed to offer them support and give them knowledge and strategies which they can share with families and pupils.
Could the teachers at your school benefit? If so please introduce us.
