I used to love running small workshops with mums and/or kids but for some reason, I don’t seem to have done any for a while. I’m going to tell you a bit about these two.

Tapping April 17th 8-9.30pm
Despite our best intentions, we can all have our moments, can’t we? Those times when we absolutely lose it. We can quake at the knees at the thought of talking to our child’s teacher. We fight back (or not) the tears when our child says they can’t go into school. Just because we are adults doesn’t mean we can manage our emotions.
In this workshop I’m going to show you how to use EFT tapping to calm down when you feel emotions overwhelming you. Because you are energetically connected to your kids, when you calm down, they will experience this and feel calmer themselves. It’s called ‘borrowing the benefits’ in EFT.
Drama Triangle April 24th 8-9.30pm
So many mums tell me that it's what mums do, fix their kids, sort out their problems and do things for them.
But, then your child starts at secondary school. Perhaps it's a bit further away and you can't whizz off and bring them something they've forgotten. You aren't waiting at the gate with the other mums and finding out what's going on at school from them.
Maybe they just don't want to tell you everything any more because they don't want you to talk to their teacher about it or come into the school.
As they become more independent and start taking responsibility for their school life, they need to feel that they can, that you trust them to make decisions and you're prepared to step away from doing everything for them and let them take charge. This really helps children gain in confidence.
I'll talk you through the Drama Triangle and we can discuss how you can step away from 'rescuer' into a loving supportive role that's going to support them as they develop into teens.
