Laying Foundations
A starting point for you and your child or teen to
get connected, communicate, and consistently
build your house from the foundations up.
Is this you?
- You’re feeling disconnected from your child or teen and unsure how to reach them in a meaningful way.
- Your child’s behaviour feels challenging, and communication often leads to misunderstandings or arguments.
- You want to be a supportive presence in your child’s life, but sometimes it feels like there’s a wall between you.
- You long for more harmony at home, where both you and your child feel heard, understood, and connected.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many parents and carers experience these challenges as children grow and develop their independence. Laying Foundations is designed to help you overcome these barriers, rebuild connection, and create a secure, communicative relationship with your child or teen.
There isn't a magic wand, but...
There’s a lot of marketing out there promising quick fixes and magical solutions, but that isn’t the reality when it comes to reconnecting with your child or teen.
Deep, lasting relationships take time, effort, and commitment.
Laying Foundations is here to guide you step-by-step to rebuild that connection, providing the tools and support you need to navigate the ups and downs together.
This Programme is a Step-by-Step Journey…
Laying Foundations takes you on a structured journey through three core pillars—Connection, Communication, and Consistency—helping you develop and deepen your relationship with your child or teen.
- Lesson 1: Making the Connection
Learn what connection truly means for both you and your child. Discover the role of shared experiences, support, and listening to create a relationship built on trust and mutual understanding.
- Lesson 2: Communication
Dive into the art of communicating in ways that resonate. This lesson focuses on non-verbal communication, the power of listening, and understanding your unique communication style to foster more open, supportive conversations.
- Lesson 3: Consistency
Build trust through consistency. This lesson highlights the importance of reliability, setting realistic goals, and establishing values that reinforce a stable and secure environment for your child or teen.
Each lesson includes interactive activities, reflections, and exercises tailored specifically for parents with children and teens.
With two accompanying workbooks, one for parents with children and another for parents with teens, you’ll have the tools needed to adapt your learning to your child’s developmental stage.
Here’s What’s Included:
Lessons covering Connection, Communication, and Consistency. These are the 3 foundational pillars to this programme.
2 Workbooks - one for parents with children and one for parents with teens.
Guided Activities and Reflections to help you implement what you learn in real-life situations.
Access to the Live Monthly Q&As exclusive to clients for additional support and shared experiences with other parents.
