INTRODUCING

Building Resilience in Your Child

The only online training course to help your child bounce back from life's hiccups

Does any of this feel familiar?

 

Your child can be reluctant to try new things

You feel your child often gives up at the first hurdle

They can have 'meltdowns' when dealing with new situations

They don't like trying new clubs in or out of school

You worry they spend too much time on their own

 


If it does, keep reading...

Dear Parent,

​

Watching your child struggle to cope with life's challenges can be heartbreaking. And as a loving parent, you feel their pain as if it were your own. 

 

As parents, we're programmed to protect, it's our nature.  We're there with the sticking plasters, both real and emotional.

 

We all know though, that sticking plasters only cover up the problem until the next time our child feels their world has fallen apart.

​

It can be exhausting trying to help children cope with disappointments and their accompanying upset or meltdowns.

 

And it can feel emotionally draining when our children are stressed or anxious and we don't feel we have the tools to help them.

​

This is how many parents feel just before we start working together.

​

However, there is hope and, with a handful of key techniques, you can give your child the means to solve their own problems, forever.

​

On my online training course, Building Resilience in Your Child, you'll learn all the tools, techniques and strategies you need to help your child bounce back from life's challenges.

​

Everything to you help you decide if this course is right for you is on this page, but if you have any questions, please email me directly at help@effectivesteps.com.

​

Best wishes,

Dr Hester Bancroft B.Sc. (Hons) Psych, DCPsych, CPsychol

GET THE COURSE

The ONLY UK-based online child resilience course


We're born with only the basic skills to parent children, everything else we have to learn.  Often what separates positive parenting is simply the knowledge of how to handle a given situation or behaviour. If you have the right information parenting can be a delight and family life a dream.

You may be looking to do this course simply to gather more tools to support your child, or because you are finding things a little stressful right now. It's normal to experience stress at different points in our lives, but if the stress continues for weeks or months, that is not healthy for anyone.

​

This course gives you the know-how to easily manage those difficult situations where you and your child are at loggerheads and you just can't see how to help them or how to move forward.

​

Using simple, proven psychological techniques I have used with THOUSANDS of parents, YOU CAN help your child develop boundless resilience, resourcefulness and initiative.

✔️ The unexpected place where goals are achieved HINT: It's not the stretch zone.
