Seminars and Associated Services
Marian Says, "My parenting seminars and programmes have been developed in response to what I have found to have made the most difference to parents in their day-to-day lives, through my own research and through years of working with parents,.
Below is a selection of parenting seminars I currently run. However, if you have a particular topic in mind, a seminar can be developed for your needs. Each seminar is 1 hour in duration followed by a Q&A session.
• 5 Ways to connect with your child
• 3 most important questions you can ever be asked as a parent!
• Developing your child’s potential
• Finding time for me!
This four week parenting programme gives parents a good understanding of the key areas of parenting today and helps them to develop a solid parenting framework. It can be run four weeks consecutively or 1 per month or quarter.
• Wk 2; Communication (the key to connecting with your child/ how to talk so they will listen and listen so they will talk/ engage co-operation etc)
• WK 3; Understanding what matters most as a parent (parenting values and how they determine why you do what you do as a parent/set boundaries around them etc)
• Wk 4; Challenging behavior (theirs, yours and other peoples!)
Participant numbers are limited and can be agreed in advance
One to One Coaching
One-to-one or one-to-two personalized private coaching sessions can be arranged at a special discounted rate. These sessions are 90 minutes in duration and are supported by unlimited e-mail/phone support. The benefit of these sessions is focused attention on your own specific family and situation.
Research has shown that many find the transition back to the workplace difficult on a number of levels. Parenthood in the early days can be a rollercoaster of emotions. There may be a change in role or work schedule. There can often be a loss of confidence due to time away.
As a coach I am an independent resource who has extensive experience helping people cope with change and transitions but also with the specific parenting emphasis.
Anyone who attends a seminar or programme has the opportunity to sign up to receive a free monthly parenting newsletter. Alternatively, where there is an ‘in house’ parenting website (or parents section of website) the organization can opt to have it posted there.
