To be completed by parents only!
We see there are 2 key ways to help parents:
- Parenting skills or mentoring - where an expert shares their experiences and provides scripts and strategies. This is where you tell your children what you want.
- Empowering parents or coaching - this is where you trust your instincts, knowing or intuition. You ask your children what they need so you can both get what you want.
Coaching or Empowering parents is a new skill required for children and young people of today. They are more sensitive and must manage greater pressure from external influences than previously because of the tremendously rapid rate of change in technology, population dynamics and culture.
We are trying to establish the demand for Empowering parents as it’s not widely available at the moment. Please help us by answering all the questions below.

This book takes over from where the reality TV shows stop. It's not a quick fix or just about communication, it's more about your whole approach. In this book I take you step by step through four stages that have been proven to be successful in getting a deeper connection for parents in my role as a Family Coach and as a Parenting Tutor.
Dr Tanya Byron, leading clinical psychologist, who used to produce "The House of Tiny Tearaways" and parenting programmes is not doing any more as she now proposes the approach of empowering parents to trust their instincts.
