Whether a parent or an educator those hard and challenging moments where a child is elevated and you don’t know what to do can happen to all of us. Feeling that frustration towards a child and self-doubt in your own ability to navigate those difficult moments, questioning the very strategies you have read about and wondering if your approach is not the ideal one.
As a behaviour analyst and parent coach with over 24 years experience I have seen how general strategies don’t work for everyone. This is what has led me to focus on creating a BRIDGE between adult and child, by developing a deep understanding for what is behind those outbursts and then developing a road map of strategies that are reflective of what is at the root.
Drawing from research in fields including child development and behaviour I use a BRIDGE framework I have created that involves walking you through a deeper understanding of a child’s complex behaviours and building out a road map of strategies with emphasis not just on discipline but rather what can be done to prevent the occurrences and help deepen your connection and reduce stress by creating more calm. Emphasis is placed on preventative strategies vs. solely on reactive ones and is framed in a supportive manner to strengthen the bond you have with your child.
