Needs of children and parents

Carole has expertise in child development and an excellent understanding of the specific needs of children, and parents, for nurturing, setting limits, stimulation, role modelling, positivity, communication, teaching, values, self-care and responsibility. She knows that parenting can be difficult without learning effective skills. Effective parenting does not generally come naturally as many of us previously believed. Not all parents wish to talk about their parenting issues in a group setting. Some parents are unable to commit to attending a parenting course each week. Parenting skills can also be applied to general relationships with others - family, friends and strangers.

Fun and balance

Easier Parenting is a website to help parents and carers to be supported in this vital and highly important task of raising children. It is a place to come and learn essential parenting skills, to read relevant interesting articles, to be inspired with heart-warming stories and quotes and to find out about how best to care for ourselves. Parents and carers deserve to have an enjoyable, stimulating and meaningful life while they are nurturing their loved ones. This is perfectly achievable. This site gives ideas for having fun with your children and/or your spouse/partner. It also is a resource for helping parents to achieve balance in their lives. Time management tips will also be offered.

Effective parenting principles - children and adolescents

We offer flexibility, quality, convenience, and reliability. Simple strategies for managing young children through to adolescents will be focused on. Carole's effective parenting principles can be applied to all age groups. Peace and harmony within the family can be a reality with a little guidance. Children go through many stages of development that need to be taken into account when raising them.

Our Style

Clients will be encouraged to email or phone and give information on the most pressing problems they are experiencing. They can let Carole know whether they would prefer to email, phone or visit for assistance. Typically she will listen actively to the parent/carer to get an idea of the whole picture. She will then give suggestions on techniques to overcome problems and to make parenting an enjoyable and successful experience for the whole family.
