coaching for parents and carers

                                    "THE CHEMISTRY OF PARENTING"

                                Parent and carer coaching programme

A seven week coaching experience for parents and carers available as individual coaching or delivered to a group, in person or online.

"We have never found a course that supports parents as well as Indigo's Chemistry of Parenting Course. It has really made an impact with all those we have referred and I cannot recommend it highly enough." Beef Frankland CEO Prospex

 

Discover your parenting style and gain bespoke knowledge and understanding with specific modules on communication, self-regulation, boundaries and self-care to enhance your family relationships and beyond.

The course covers  a new topic each time we meet. Each session is only an hour long, with space for  discussion, interactive exercises and tailored support. You will learn how to translate peoples body language and enhance your own, for clearer communication; develop simple conversational tools to help your family feel listened to whilst supporting their emotional well-being; create a plan of positive habits for fun and easy family self care; learn how to deescalate challenging situations when feelings are running high; and practice simple strategies to help establish and maintain boundaries at home for a consistent and respectful family environment.

 

The course comes with a free workbook each week , which offers take-away tips and exercises as well the core content of each topic for you to digest at your own pace. This builds into a handy guide after completion for easy reference, and also includes tools to monitor your development across the course to chart your progress.

 

The aim of the course is to help you feel more confident and empowered in your role as a parent or carer as well as in everyday interactions within your community. There are no wrong answers, silly questions or hard and fast rules just the chance to explore new ideas and strategies together, to support your approach to parenting.

This course is also available in a condensed 3 module version for extended family members or partners. This can work well to ensure a consistent approach is used within the family unit. 

Designed for parents, carers and extended family.

Delivered by iNDIGO THERAPEUTIC SERVICES

feedback from parents and carers

What was your most valuable learning experience from the course?

"I found The Chemistry of Parenting course to be very useful in providing me the right tools to enhance my current parenting skills."

 

 "I didn't feel judged."

 

..[the course] was tailor made to guide and support me in setting realistic goals to implement within my family... I learnt different coping methods and strategies for short or long term use in difficult situations."

" ... an extremely valuable and positive course, definitely an addition to my parenting skills."

 

"[I learnt that] It was ok to say no."

“I’ve taken something from every module. It has boosted my confidence.”

 

Can you describe your experience working with Kate and Mic as your coaches on the Chemistry of Parenting course?

"I was given a variety of approaches and methods to help me find the most suitable to fit my family"

"I have only positive thoughts after finishing this course. I was genuinely looking forward to every weekly session for a friendly chat and felt my confidence improving. I felt understood and supported. It didn’t feel like coach and parent talks at all. It felt like having a cup of tea and chatting to two old, non-judgmental friends with Kate and Mic during our 6-week sessions."

 

"I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would recommend it."

"I would recommend these sessions to any parent who feels a bit unsure about their parenting skills or like me just needs some confirmation and assurance that they are on the right track, or just sharing ideas. "

 

"These sessions are very positive, informative and well organised.”

"I really enjoyed the Chemistry of Parenting course with Kate and Mic. It was unlike anything I have done before, or read about...there were many useful takeaways and I hope they will help all of our family."

 

"Kate and Mic made me feel instantly at ease - never judgemental, always supportive, interested and kind. Parenting is the hardest job of all. What they have put together should make it a little bit easier or more manageable and I definitely recommend it to everyone."

“It has been very positive. Kate and Mic were very friendly. I felt very comfortable. It felt like talking to friends.”

"I did not feel embarrassed with you."

 

"I didn't think I would finish and I did."

 

"I never felt I was judged."

 

"I felt comfortable with you both."

 

"I liked the book that went with it."
