Helping Shy Children Become More Confident  Helping Shy Children to Become More Confident

By Jenny Amir

As an NLP Practitioner, one of the most rewarding aspects of my work is helping a child to overcome what is often perceived as “shyness”, and in the process enabling them to discover and connect with the confidence and happiness within themselves.

From Task to Ask

From Task to Ask  From Task to Ask : Creating your First ‘To-Ask’ List

By John of Challenging Coaching.

Most of us have a ‘To-Do’ list but how many of us have a ‘To-Ask’ list? This was the intriguing question prompted by a recent CEO-level coaching session. My client and I were brainstorming the capabilities required to achieve a specific goal. I asked him if he could see a common theme among the five or six points he had written in his notebook. He stared at the words for some time and then concluded calmly ‘I need to shift from task to ask’.

NLP for Dyslexic Kids

NLP for Dyslexic Kids  5 Ways to Help Dyslexic Children

I use a combination of Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques and a simple exercise-based therapy to help my clients, so any recommendations I make are based on my experience of using these to achieve the best results for them.

Bullying Behaviour

Bullying Behaviour  Bullying Behaviour – Two Sides of The Coin

By Debbie Kinghorn 

I’d like you to join me in the playground of a small comprehensive school in Berkshire.  It’s first break and all the kids are running outside in a burst of energy, desperate to make the most of their 15 minutes of freedom.  Year 7’s are at the far side of the playground, still finding their feet at “big school”.  We walk together down the path towards the younger children.  Some are “playing” not wanting to leave their old primary school rituals behind; others are in discussion or flirting in mixed groups.  Our eyes are drawn to a smaller boy, Stuart, alone in the corner of the playground.  He looks happy enough, just “being” by himself, he’s watching the others interact, taking it all in.  One of the other boys, Bradley, breaks from a group and walks over to him.

ADHD and NLP

ADHD and NLP  How to Help ADHD Children Improve Their Concentration

By Heather King on Apr 9th, 2014

Challenging behaviours in children and teenagers can sorely test even the most tolerant parent  -  bring into the equation a diagnosis of ADHD and the level of exasperation and overwhelm can go through the roof.  The one thing to keep in mind is that it is highly likely that your child is just as frustrated as you are.  Just because they don’t always do the things everything that they are asked to do, this doesn’t mean that they don’t want what you want – A HAPPY AND HARMONIOUS FAMILY LIFE.

Your Boundaries – A Powerful Life Skill

Your Boundaries – A Powerful Life Skill  But what are they?  If you haven't got them how do you get them?  (You can't go to the shops and buy a set, ready made.)

One of the saddest things for so many people is that they never had a chance to learn about boundaries in the place where they should have, the family environment. They had no way of learning what a boundary was because nobody else back there in that family had any. They may have learned about walls but they are different.
