Mindful Monkeys ®Better Together Practitioner supporting parents to find positive ways to connect w

After over 20 years of being a Primary school teacher and over 11 years of teaching music to babies and toddlers, I became one of the first fully qualified Mindful Monkeys®Better Together Practitioner in March '19 after doing the wonderful training course with Lesley, the founder of Mindful Monkeys®. I believe as a parent myself that we all do the best we can with the knowledge we have but it's al

ways good to be able to learn new things especially to help our children when we can see they are struggling with issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem, anger, fear of failure and big life changes. Through showing children how amazing they and their brains are, I can help them to see why they are struggling and why things can seem so tough at times. I can offer you and your child lots of tools and strategies to try out at home and hopefully they will help you to make differences to your whole family and lead to more positive family connections. The programme is for children aged 5 - 12 and can be delivered through 1 - 1 sessions with one parent and one child or as a group programme in a school taking between 4 - 6 parents with a child each.

As some of you know, I was bereaved many years ago when my husband died suddenly leaving me with 2 school aged children. I found it very helpful to talk to others who had been through a similar experience to me and later it lead to me working with bereaved adults and children. I enjoy the opportunity to offer them support and to help them to deal with their losses. I have now started to offer a listening service for adults who have been bereaved and the first half hour session would be free as it is for parents who are interested in my listening service for them. There is no obligation to continue after the free session but hopefully if you find it helpful, you will be happy to come back for paid sessions. Please get in touch if you would like any more information or if you would like to book a free session.

What do you feel you need to enable you to help your child when they are struggling with something? I wonder if it might be having someone to listen to you who isn't directly involved. If this sounds like something that would help you, I am offering a FREE face to face listening session with no obligation to sign up to any more. However if you find it helpful and realise it could be beneficial for you and your child, you can sign up and come along for as many sessions as you wish to have. It is not counselling, just listening and I would only make suggestions if you were open to them. Please get in touch on here or by email if you would like to have a free session or if you would like more information.

It's nearly the Easter holidays and I hope you will all find some time during the next fortnight to connect as a family and have fun. If during a conversation with your child, you realise there is something they are struggling with, let them know you are there for them and that there are lots of things that you can do together to help. Maybe by just talking and finding out more about their feelings, you will find a solution but if you feel you need a little more support, please get in touch to find out what I can offer. We can have a chat on the phone with no obligation to take things any further. Once we have had a conversation then we can decide together whether we feel that Mindful Monkey sessions would be helpful for your child.

Our children are unique and have their own talents. They are all amazing 😊

After nearly a whole month of posting what I hoped were some helpful ideas, I thought I would throw it open to you now to have a think and ask me a question about something that you feel might help your family to connect better or something that your family are struggling with. Then I will try and answer and hopefully others on here will answer too and we will be a real positive connection community 😊

I hope you have found some of these posts over the month of January helpful and if you have been trying some of my suggestions, do you feel you are communicating better now as a family? Which activity or discussion helped your communication the most and what activities would you like to continue next month? Please feel free to share your thoughts as it would be great to know what has helped.

30/01/2023

As we are nearly at the end of January, today let's look back at the month and discuss our best day of the month and our worst day of the month. Do any of you have the same best or worst days and is it for the same reasons? How did you feel on your best day?

29/01/2023

I hope you came up with some ways to make up with someone you have had an argument with. Maybe you can try it out the next time it happens to you.
Today many of the people we connect with are online, either on our phones or other screens. It's so important though to have contact with people face to face just like you are now all doing daily as a family. Maybe discuss today how you can make contact face to face with more people next week and see if you can keep a count of them all. Then at the end of the week you can see who has had the most face to face contacts and also how they compared to your online contacts.

I hope it was fun sharing photos and stories from the past yesterday. Maybe you could make a collage with the photos you shared.
Today let's talk about what we can do when we have an argument with someone or fall out with someone. What can we do to make it better or how can we think about it differently? Would you be more understanding if you knew that person was going through a difficult time?

27/01/2023

If you discussed what you would like to get better at and if anyone could help you, have you tried it out yet? Were you better just because you talked about it?
Today I think it's time to look at old photos, Photos of when you were all babies or younger than you are now. How have you changed and what things do the parents remember doing at that age. What was different then to now?

25/01/2023

What did you find helped you feel calm? Hopefully you will try this as often as possible as we all need a little calm in our lives.
Today let's talk about something we would like to get better at. Discuss what would help you to improve and if there is anything that the family could do to help you.

24/01/2023

How did you find talking about things that went wrong? Was it good to know similar things had happened to others in the family?
Today let's think about ways to feel calm. Sometimes things can just be a little chaotic or busy and we need to find a way to feel calm. Can you come up with some different ways and then try them out. Do they all work for you or only some of them?
