So… you’re a parent and your teenager (or pre-teen) seems to have turned into a monster? Does it seem like all you do is argue with them now? Do you feel you’re trapped in a vicious circle and don’t know how to find the way out?
Rest assured you’re not alone! We've all been there to varying degrees... and it’s been going on way longer than you might think:
“Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, gobble their food and tyrannise their teachers” (Socrates: 425 – 329 BC).
Sound familiar?
Trouble is, there's no manual on how to juggle bringing up your children with holding down busy jobs, keeping the household together, co-ordinating the ultimate free taxi service and being fabulous fun parents at the same too, is there? Throw one or even two hormonal teenagers into the mix and all this can lead to genuine frustrations, impossible situations, damaging rows and in some cases, even family breakdown.
But please don’t despair; help is at hand.
As a coach, mentor, published author and public speaker, I specialise in working with young people and their families to bring about positive change, stop the endless conflict and help develop the mutual respect and understanding which brings families back together, so they can have fun and enjoy each other again.
Helping parents break the vicious cycle of conflict... learn how to communicate effectively with your teenagers to stop the endless arguments.
1-2-1 youth coaching to bring about change... working with teenagers to build self esteem, confidence and responsibility and focus them on their goals too.
Family coaching sessions for better relationships... involving the whole family to understand why you have conflicts and how to break the relentless cycle which can arise.
Finding you work-life balance... identifying and addressing issues which can affect the whole family when the balance with work life is out of sync; helping you deal with the stresses of deadlines, colleagues and targets without taking it out on those nearest and dearest too you.
Smoothing the school years... working with behaviour support teams to help teenagers at risk of being excluded, who are being bullied or working with the bullies themselves to change behaviour patterns.
My passion is to see parents enjoy the precious time they have with their children... helping them create successful families and raise happy, secure, confident children through a healthy work life balance and great communication too!
Remember... if you keep doing what you've always done, the result really isn't going to change!
So together let's explore how we can make the changes which will deliver positive results time after time for you and your whole family!
