I get it!
Parenting can be incredibly frustrating at the best of times with teens... and throw a dollop of neurospicy goodness into the mix and you can really feel like you're floundering! What behaviours are due to neurodivergence and what is just 'being a child?'
I’ve been there, and I know just how daunting school transitions can be. It’s natural to worry about how your child will handle the change, but with the right preparation and support, these transitions can become wonderful opportunities for growth and development. That’s why I’ve created the "Year Group Transition Tactics" course – to help parents like you navigate these important milestones with ease and confidence.
We know what it's like when we start a new job; why should our kids feel any different? This is their 'job'.
Who is it perfect for?
My "Year Group Transition Tactics" course is ideal for:
​
-
Parents of Young Children (School Starters to 10 Years Old): Get your child ready for primary school with confidence.
-
Parents of Pre-Teens and Teens (High School Starters to 16 Years Old): Equip your child with the skills they need to thrive in high school.
-
Parents of School Leavers (College, University, or Work): Support your child as they embark on the next exciting chapter of their life.
Why on earth should you listen to me?
Well, I've been there! As someone who's navigated the challenges of supporting a neurodivergent teen through every year, from starting to finally finishing school, I understand exactly what you're going through. My approach isn't just based on theoretical knowledge; it's rooted in real-life experience and proven strategies that have helped my own teen succeed.
With my background in education and a deep understanding of neurodiversity, I bring a unique perspective to preparing for transitions that prioritises empathy, flexibility, and practicality.
My qualifications in Life and Happiness coaching have added to my understanding and ability to work together to find positive solutions. Add to this a hefty dose of northern common sense and it's a winner!
I will always choose to tell you what you need to know over what you want to hear.
