Parenting Support and Coaching

To help parents bring out the best in themselves and their children, we work to help them:

  • develop goals for their family and children
  • best parent their children both individually and as part of the family, as a whole
  • understand their child’s unique wiring and learning profile
  • develop tools and skills to support their child at home, in school and in social situations
  • use the advances in both child development research and neuroscience to improve their parenting dynamic and success with their child
  • identify when anxiety may or has become a stumbling block for them or their child
  • identify when a child’s school may need encouragement to provide necessary supports
  • explore the impact of a parents’ own upbringing on their parenting styles
  • identify and work through areas of different parenting styles
  • notice and work to resolve issues on which the family gets ‘stuck’
  • provide support and guidance for families under stress and transition periods: separation, divorce, chronic illness and death

Particularly when children have learning issues, special needs and/or a health or mental health diagnosis, we will support parents to:

  • understand any diagnoses their child may have received and how to communicate it
  • have a thorough neuropsych report
  • help them understand the data and meaning contained in the neuropsych reports and its impact upon different aspects of their child’s life
  • understand their child’s cognitive and social/emotional profile
  • develop a style of interaction and engagement that will support your child’s development and growth
  • feel more confident as parents
  • develop effective tools and strategies that are uniquely tailored to the needs of a child with a health, mental health or learning difference.
