Creating Healthier Communities Through Parenting Skills Education
My parenting skills services are designed to help schools, local authorities and other bodies increase the wellbeing of families in their communities.
Using low-cost interventions, such as those offered through my consultancy, your organisation can drive positive change and improve outcomes for children and families.
Effective and Low-cost Solutions
Cost-Effective Community Improvement
Simple interventions can be the most effective and cost-effective. My services will help you achieve community impact within budget constraints.
Also, by improving parenting skills at a community level, you can reduce the long-term strain on public services and create a positive intersectional ripple effect across society and in the life of the child.

- Improved child welfare and reduced safeguarding concerns.

Maria's Story
Maria was struggling with her child, Sami. She could not enforce rules, boundaries or routines and struggled with the cultural differences of raising Sami compared to her upbringing. Sami was not behaving well; he would not listen, could not manage his emotions, would not take responsibility for his actions, and could not comply with instructions or follow routines.
We taught Maria some strategies such as praising, planning to ignore and modelling. We gave her homework to practice.
Maria found, within a few days and weeks, that praising and paying attention to Sami’s good behaviour brought positive results. She could see that modelling the behaviour she wanted from Sami was effective and that he copied her. She learnt to have positive conversations with him, which balanced the instructional conversations she mostly used in the past.
Maria and Sami learned to make rules together, which helped Sami to take ownership of his behaviour. Maria managed to make routines stick and learned to be authoritative while listening to Sami and allowing him to self-express and feel heard.
“Growing up in a different time period and being from an African background, my perspective is different from the new culture. I never acknowledged that my child faces different challenges. I've learned to listen and create practical steps to help them face challenges in their environment." - Maria
To continue supporting Maria, we signposted her to a parent community where she could continue to feel part of a peer support network.
