I have outlined the talks below for your convenience.

15th Oct Developing self-esteem, self-contentment and resilience in our children
Did you know self-esteem and confidence are not the same and without good self-esteem we cannot be resilient? So how do you know if your child has good self-esteem, and is happy in themselves? How can you take them on a journey of self-belief and empower them to be resilient supporting them as they encounter bumps along the road. Join Melissa to understand your child, learn actionable strategies to implement immediately at home and leave feeling empowered and heard

22nd Oct Recognising and understanding anger in children
When our children display anger at home via their behaviours it can be really tricky for parents to know how best to respond. Is it best to ignore or punish? Do I remove privileges? is it age appropriate, should I be worried? Why are they behaving like this? Is it normal? Melissa will help you understand your child’s emotions and behaviours, arming you with a new perspective and approach.
