The first thing that I learned as a brand new parent, many moons ago, is that there is no such thing as a ‘Child Manual’ as every child is unique!
Parenting is a full time job which offers no training, no salary and has very unsocial hours. There may be very little support, positive feedback and/or gratitude. However, there are endless opportunities to learn and develop (mostly out of frustration, trial and error) and scope to assume different roles (e.g. mum & dad’s taxi service). Wow……with a job description like that, it’s very hard to understand why anyone would intentionally apply for this job!
Yes, all the above may be true but despite being a constant challenge it truly does bring its own rewards, no matter how few and far between. The fact is that the rare ‘thank you’, ‘I love you’ or nice comment is worth its weight in gold – seeing your child or young adult happy and healthy makes you equally happy – sharing in their successes, sorrows, challenges, disappointments is the added value of the role.
Sometimes, situations arise which well and truly upset the balance of things. Relationships break down, families break up, there may be sibling rivalry or confidence and low self esteem issues, anger and behavioural challenges, phobias and anxiety problems – all which can create barriers to effective communication at the very least, making it very difficult for parent to manage, let alone the young person. Problems which can extend into the school, college and workplace settings, creating additional stress and difficulties for all those involved.
Take a breath! Help is here. I will work with you using NLP tools and technique which will enable you to better communicate with your young person and in a different way. You will be able to use what you learn to influence and incentivise them to get homework done, help more around the house, to stop arguing with their brother or sister. In addition you will be better able to help them cope with other challenges and difficulties they may have and return peace and harmony to the family household. Phew! Wouldn’t that be great?
You owe it to THEM and YOU to help them be happy and successful and to reach their full potential in life.
