"I learned more practical strategies in one hour than I did on a 90 day paid programme" - Veronica, past participant

Hi, I'm Pamela...

I am a mum of two, a certified parenting coach and a self-confessed science geek. I have helped hundreds of parents like you over the past five years. Not to mention the intense on-the-job training of being a mum for over a decade - my kids are definitely my best teachers.

When I became a parent, I thought I'd have everything under control. But daily life was a struggle with my strong willed daughter. From mealtimes to getting dressed to turning screens off. When my second child came along, I was burnt out and exhausted - and very shouty.

Once I learned how children’s emotions work and found simple tools to build connection and cooperation into our daily lives, everything changed.

I now feel like a capable leader in my family. Our home is full of laughter instead of yelling. I know how to navigate the challenges life throws at us in a way that brings us closer and helps us all learn and grow emotionally.

Meet Angelique...

Before working with me, parenting was a daily struggle, she felt overwhelmed and frustrated.
The only way she could get her 7 year old child to do homework was threatening to take away his Switch, and that didn’t feel right.

Here is what she said:

"Pamela helped me change the way I parent and we’re seeing the benefits immediately. After every session I feel empowered and ready to take on each parenting challenge. We’re reaping so many benefits from the tools she teaches. My son will later imitate my patience, love and connectivity with my daughter. This is how I know Pam’s methods work.”

What people are saying about my Masterclasses...

"I will be trying more fun and laughter! I've become too serious!"

"I've really loved all your ideas of how to do play. I'm not a very playful person by nature, so I really appreciate your examples!"

"My biggest take away is definitely the play listening. I use it on some occasions but listening to you has made me realise how useful it will be in a lot of situations where I get to my limits"

I have helped hundreds of parents. Over thirteen years of being a parent myself, studying, practicing and training and seven years of working with parents, I finally learned why children don't listen and how to bring back calm and cooperation. The connection, joy and delight this has brought has changed my life and the lives of my children. I'm on a mission to help as many parents as I can.

More Praise for my Masterclass...

"It was absolutely brilliant. All so clear and pragmatic and really achievable and attainable."

"It was so full of direct, easy to implement ideas, which is what everyone really wants and needs."

"Even just listening to your playful examples makes me feel so much better. So I guess if I smile and feel lighter just by listening to you, our kids must feel it even more when we do it with them"
