As adults, we know that life is never without challenges, so we need to teach our children how to cope with change and potentially stressful experiences. The more resilient children are, the better they will be able to focus on building relationships and new learning experiences. By building positive relationships and strengthening your children's character, we can lay the foundations necessary to develop their confidence and self esteem. In this session parents will gain advice and tips to know how to develop these skills, so your child will be able to successfully adjust to their new environment. Through the power of our language and mindset, we can guide our children on how to bounce back from mishaps and take different situations in their stride. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1620834502606-HJ8HI9RLW0VJOXS01SZ4/image8.png Workshops - Optimising physical health for learning Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1620834310563-RJIW14U5Q4263BZWNF35/workshop_communication.jpg Workshops - Helping children to communicate effectively This is perhaps the most important of all our workshops, giving children the skills they need to verbalise their needs, and to respond to the needs of others. Communication is the lynchpin of learning and can also improve behaviour, helping children to develop a sense of self, and to express how they feel in new situations – feeling nervous or shy, for example. Our role as parents is vital to their developing communication skills. With your help, your child will develop and practise their skills, and learn to process information, and organise their ideas before they speak. This workshop gives your children the tools they need to say, “I am finding this hard” or, “I need some help, can you show me?” It sets them up to practice all the things they’ll need at school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1620834423632-P0PF54SOZJQ4MT5X6NZD/image-asset.png Workshops - Promoting independence Only when a child feels in control with a certain degree of independence can they truly make room for friendship and academic learning. Forgetting something, feeling flustered or rushed, having tummy pain, worrying about wetting themselves, struggling with their coat or shoes, or needing something but not knowing how to ask for it – all these things can prevent them learning, but simple hacks can solve them. This workshop gives parents the tips and tricks they need to help their child develop true independence, so they can cast aside fears and niggles and devote their brain space to learning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1620834584131-MQEQ04870GEXY1KN5HSE/image5.png Workshops - Supporting children emotionally Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kindlingeducation.com/workshops/meaningful-maths monthly 0.5 2022-01-19 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/workshops/understanding-phonics monthly 0.5 2022-01-21 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/workshops/supporting-your-early-reader monthly 0.5 2022-01-19 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/workshops/building-childs-self-esteem-and-resilience monthly 0.5 2022-01-19 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/workshops/supporting-children-emotionally monthly 0.5 2022-01-19 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/workshops/helping-children-to-communicate-effectively monthly 0.5 2022-01-19 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/workshops/promoting-independence monthly 0.5 2022-01-19 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/workshops/optimising-physical-health-for-learning monthly 0.5 2022-01-19 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights daily 0.75 2021-10-19 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights/living-life-in-reception monthly 0.5 2021-10-19 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights/role-models monthly 0.5 2021-06-23 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights/the-power-of-play monthly 0.5 2021-06-27 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights/the-etiquette-of-parents-evening monthly 0.5 2021-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1620388890905-2Q0CC16J4EN2ST002OT2/image1.jpg Insights - The etiquette of Parents’ Evening Photo credit: ParentMap https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights/is-this-the-end-of-exams monthly 0.5 2021-06-07 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights/technophile-vs-technophobe monthly 0.5 2021-06-07 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights/to-tutor-or-not-to-tutor monthly 0.5 2021-06-07 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights/those-that-can-do-those-that-can-do-more-teach monthly 0.5 2021-06-07 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/insights/learning-from-the-best monthly 0.5 2021-06-08 https://www.kindlingeducation.com/home daily 1.0 2021-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1619711172780-THBK4NJI10OTVK0JZIWS/marcus-wallis-MTeZ5FmCGCU-unsplash.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1622059886439-7GG8QE4QCFRKOLQI24R2/image-asset.png Home - “I cannot think of a more perfect person to support young families starting this special journey into school life.” – Claire https://www.kindlingeducation.com/about daily 0.75 2021-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1620742029972-41UDLRUSRODD6F8WHRUS/katie_portrait.jpg About - Hello, I’m Katie. Having spent seven years as a reception class teacher at the leading independent primary school, Thomas’s, Kensington, Katie has seen first-hand how emotional wellbeing is the essential ingredient for academic success. As a parent coach, she specialises in the transition from nursery to school, working mainly with parents of three- to five-year olds, both online and in person. She balances compassion and sensitivity with her uniquely practical and straightforward approach. “I’ve wanted to work with children for as long as I can remember and always put them at the centre of what I do.” Katie’s practical expertise is grounded by her knowledge of key educational theories. Katie understands how attachment and neurological development can support a child’s ability to thrive, and in particular how it can influence their readiness to learn. Her ultimate goal is to empower parents with the knowledge they need to support their children in the best possible way – now and in the future. Transitions can be daunting but are vital to development; every challenge is an opportunity to grow as a person. With Katie’s help, parents develop an invaluable template for guiding their children through changes later in life. Before teaching, Katie studied History and Religious Studies at the University of Manchester, and passed her PGCE with distinction. A keen sportswoman, she grew up in the countryside and is passionate about the outdoors; she champions creativity, and a balanced education based on strong relationships, and a healthy body and mind. She lives in south-west London with her husband and their young daughter, who reinforces Katie’s understanding of how meaningful, real-life experiences form the basis for all future learning, and how positive relationships and dynamics are vital for a growth mindset – from birth to school and beyond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1622643773843-OH3Y3M2MZUM86DVESZSO/Place_2Be_logo.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1622643847928-Q9A47UHFZ4F61Q48A93P/uni_manchester.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1622643638622-EQQOYFAQNDWCE12828AL/pgce.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1622643889045-GF5EEXSR7MCSLYP6KPVZ/AppleTeacher_white.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kindlingeducation.com/services daily 0.75 2022-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082ab77d4e59e6c0a6791fd/1620847732341-O5B4WSMGXLV5YTH57TBZ/image-asset.jpeg Services - Discovery call Our unique approach puts emotional wellbeing first, and this includes you; we want you to feel comfortable and informed.

Are they struggling to meet developmental milestones, or dealing with confidence or behavioural issues? Katie is passionate about sharing her knowledge and expertise when it comes to a broad range of challenges, and has developed a series of workshops that cover essential parenting skills and techniques to address them. For each one, Katie invites a handful of parents into her own home. In a relaxed and friendly environment, they learn practical skills and techniques to support their child on their journey through education. Katie creates a reassuring space for parents to explore their children and their unique needs, as well as their own personal concerns. The transition to school can feel daunting for caregivers as well as children, and it’s important that we don’t let our own feelings affect our children’s confidence. The workshop price includes refreshments, and access to related content and resources after the session.
