This sessions is delivered by our guest facilitator Jo McAndrews. Jo is an expert in the neuroscience of child development. She shares some really important building blocks for child development. This can influence our parenting, and our work with parents. It also influences what we share with parents so that they can support their children more effectively. It can also be useful when we explore inner child healing, which we will explore in a later session. The session focuses on: What is attachment? The neurobiology of connection – how children depend on their adults for more than survival How attachment needs shape behaviour Neurodivergence Attachment styles What gets in the way of secure attachment Key skills for attachment aware parenting Jo joins us for a live session on our Tuesday evening session so you can explore this topic in more detail with her directly.

During this session we will explore adapting coaching to meet different needs: Considering embodiment, learning styles, learning and change and attachment, what we need to do to meet different needs 6 human needs What we all need Unconditional positive regard Becoming the wise person The most powerful question Links to appreciative coaching What is your favourite way to adapt something to meet your own needs? I feel so much through the soles of my feet, so for me a simple adaptation I can do in a very wide range of circumstances is take my shoes off. I immediately feel more grounded and in touch with what is important.
