Parents often seem surprised when we boil down a tough teen challenge to a few key work-ons. It’s thanks to the 100s of times we’ve felt completely stumped, that we now know how to reliably draw out the solutions. What we’ve learned will help you move forward.
Here are the two opening questions we always use with parents. Grab something you can collect your thoughts on. Give yourself 15 quiet minutes where you can think. You’ll be amazed at what you come up with.

Tell me about the situation which led you to getting in touch
We love how honest parents are about what has led to them getting in touch with us. We are also surprised at how long they have been struggling with their challenge.

If I gave you a magic wand and you could wave it, so that in 12 weeks you could see a small change which meant things had improved, what would that change be?
It’s so refreshing to see how small a change is required for things to feel better. Small changes always add up to big shifts and make the challenge seem less overwhelming.
Now challenge yourself to pick out 3 things that just feel right to start working on. This is where you are going to focus your energy for the next few weeks to see a marked difference.
If you got stuck not to worry, it took us some practice. Just book a 15 minute chat with free and we will get you going.
