Children today are more sensitive – emotionally, physically and psychically – just how do they know what mood you’re in before you enter the room? Parents need new skills.

We have coined the phrase ‘energetic connection’ to illustrate that there is more to communication than the 5 accepted senses. Our mission is to help you trust your instincts.

We see that:

1. Parents are doing the best they can with the information they have.

2. Not only are children more sensitive, they must manage tremendously rapid change in external influences - technology, population dynamics and culture.

3. Parents, especially parents of teens (does that start at 8 years old these days), deserve huge support.

4. When parents realise they cannot actually control their children, the best they can do is influence them and the better the relationship the greater the influence - the whole family dynamic changes.

5. Family coaching can help you take back control of your life and you can create ‘me’ time.

The coaching model:

1. A person realises they have a problem

2. They want to do something about it – TWO HUGE STEPS

3. They talk to a variety of coaches and agree terms.

4. Pay one month’s fee in advance

If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you always got. Click the following to see some case studies.

The outcome is for you to feel good about yourself, so you can see the magnificence in yourself. Then you can be authentic and congruent.

Some theoretical justification

There is a clear distinction between this intervention and the range of 'parenting' programmes available. It is a personal development approach based on the work of psychologist Carl Rogers (1902 – 1987) person centred therapy. Prochaska and Norcross (2003) states Rogers "consistently stood for an empirical evaluation of psychotherapy. He and his followers have demonstrated a humanistic approach to conducting therapy and a scientific approach to evaluating therapy need not be incompatible."

And the Theory of Change is (e.g. The Five Stages of Change by James Prochaska and Carlo Diclemente (1982) and a self-awareness model of behavioural self-control adapted from Mahoney and Thoresen’s personal scientist model (1974).  Also by working in groups we harnessed the synergistic effect of ‘collective unconscious’ (Carl Jung) creating a ‘can do’ culture.

Daniel Goleman’s ‘Neuroscience’ has discovered that our brain’s very design makes it sociable, inexorably drawn into an intimate brain-to-brain linkup whenever we engage with another person. That neural bridge lets us affect the brain - and so the body - of everyone we interact with, just as they do us.

"One family can influence another, then another, then ten, one hundred, one thousand more, and the whole of society will benefit."

Parents themselves are changing the culture of parenting in their community. This will, in turn, change the fabric of our society from the inside out. It starts with the family – and in the family.
