Parent Guidance & Support
We offer guidance and support for you (the parent) to feel more confident in being able to understand & support your child.
-
Are you a parent who would like to be guided on how to support your diagnosed or undiagnosed child build their skills: social and emotional skills?, independent skills?, anxiety management skills? and/or executive functioning skills?
You may truly benefit from this service. Your child may not even require individual sessions
WHY WORK WITH THE PARENT?
Working with parent directly is the most efficient way to assist young people in their emotional development since the parent is generally 'with them' and is 'creating the environment around the young person' which therefore impacts their overall development.
Parent guidance and support does not mean that the parent is 'responsible' for the child's struggles and does not mean that the parent is 'to blame' but rather that the parent has the 'real power' to change anything!
To promote a child's independence, emotional development and intelligence, we help on encouraging parents to increase their child's self-awareness, self-regulation and social skills. This can be achieved by guiding you and teaching you (the parent) how to compliment what you are currently doing in creating a supportive environment that entails validating feelings, teaching coping mechanisms, and modelling appropriate emotional behaviour.

HELPING SCHOOL AGED KIDS (7-17) THRIVE!
Whilst the use of individualised programs that aim to build emotional regulation skills in young people have proven effective for some, the research suggests that establishing a relational approach with the young person usually produces best outcomes. In other words, working on improving the relationship and communication with the adults in the young person's life.
Our aim is to assist and guide families in promoting their child’s emotional intelligence and improving the efficiency of communication with them to help empower them socially in their relationships with others. We will work with you using simple 'yet effective ways' to better your communication skills with your child in the aim of strengthening the relationship and in assisting their emotional growth/ resilience because no one has more power and influence on your child than ‘you’.
