Welcome to Life…

News letter 1000 My name is Mary Johnson; I am a qualified Peak Performance Coach, a Master Practitioner and Trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist/Counsellor As a mother of two and a grandmother of six and as a result of experience gained through counselling parents with children of all ages it is becoming more and more apparent that children from functional as well as dysfunctional families are experiencing greater difficulties and pressures of modern society, resulting in behavioural problems being exhibited both at home and at school. As a result of this trend parents and teachers have been left with challenges, for which some are ill prepared. My vision is to reach as many parents as possible, offering them help and support by way of sharing with them my professional knowledge and life experience so as to make a difference to ‘their world of parenting’. This will generate a positive expansion growth in behavioural patterns in children youth and parenting. This service will be offered through articles written on this site as well as the offer of Distance Learning Workshops, One on One Consulting either in person or by phone. And through a book I have written as a a trouble-shooting parents’ handbook titled “How to Beat Children at their Own Game” offering strategies for most common asked questions. For more information about this book click here. It is acknowledged that one of the hardest jobs in the World is that of being a parent. Parenting is not a ‘natural ability’ but a complex and multifaceted one for which little or no training is given. Many parents are eager to provide the best for their children but sometimes these parents are not aware of the blocks to attaining this aspiration nor are they aware of how to overcome them.

Certainly school teachers are instrumental in educating children academically, however parents need to know about the behavioural management of children; they need to understand the nature and purpose of children’s problematic behaviour and how to respond constructively to them, because there is mounting evidence that children who are troubled and exhibit learning difficulties within a classroom, usually have problems with self-esteem issues, which can be most of the time, traced back to their home life. If parents are to prepare their children for the challenges of school they need to focus on a number of areas including: The couple relationship The way love is shown to children How family conflicts are resolved How parents feel about themselves The mirroring of the self-worth of each child Helping the child who is trouble The role of parents as educators. In times of trouble and unrest many parents are left with asking themselves ‘Where do parents go to get guidance?” their family and friends may be supportive however they are usually not trained. Most of the time, the people wanting to support them, are struggling with their own problems. Some of the times the problems are not serious enough to require going to a psychologist, however nevertheless information is needed to guide the parent through.

Each article will present a topic and give suggestions and key actions that may bring about the changes needed to resolve some of the child’s emotional and educational problem.
