If you go to the course page you will see a full list of topics here.  It is best to have an initial chat to identify the route of the issue to see how you can be best supported.

FOR YOU

• Is self-care elusive?
• Does it get lost in the to-do list?
• Are you stressed & reactive?
• Are you exhausted from constant juggling?
• Are you stuck in a cycle of being reactive then berating yourself with guilt?
• Are you relying on caffeine, wine, social media as a way to avoid your issues?
• Do you want to respond differently but find yourself reacting?
• Are you feeling unsupported?

FOR YOUR CHILD

• Do you find yourself saying “No!” a lot?
• Do you want to communicate positively but fall back on rewards or punishments in the face of your child’s “No”?
• Do you want to parent unconditionally but find yourself falling back to way you were parented?
• Do you want to engage in a way that increases your connection but find yourself using disconnecting tools (stern look, strong tone, threats)?
• Do you love the sound of NVC but get lost in the application or the words?
• Are you confused by the difference between positive communication and permissive parenting?
• Are you struggling to get your partner on board with your approach?

I understand, let me offer an insight from Brene Brown: “Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

I enjoyed Karen’s calm and sensitive way of talking…..

her passion and kindness can provide nourishment for many a growing mother….

We work out a mutually convenient time.  I am flexible on hours and used to working late once your children are asleep.

Being a parent I understand that your baby may need feeding during the session or that potentially your child may not sleep in time for the call, don’t worry, we can work around this.

I want to be upfront about the commitment you will need to make this worth your while.  Simply put, the more you put in – the more you get out. 

It very much depends on what areas you are wanting to change and over what timescale. 

For example for the full course we work up to: 

• 1 hour per week for a 1-1 support call with another parent.
• 30 minutes per day for connecting practices with your child.
• 30 minute per day for connecting practices with yourself.

We ease this in gently, working on navigating practical and emotional resistances and communication with your family to make this workable.
