FAMILY
Jacqueline runs sessions with families to help them understand each other, appreciate their natural differences and communicate more effectively.
Often parenting is more difficult than we expected. Parents all want the best for their children - for them to feel loved and secure and to become confident and successful in their own field. But sometimes the children don't seem to be listening or responding. The world has changed, life is frantic and everyone has an opinion.
Much of this disconnect is that we strive to treat our children the way we wanted to be treated as children, but our children are not us. Jacqueline will help you understand the personality of your child, and how they are best motivated and encouraged so that they feel loved, confident and able to become the best version of themselves.
Jacqueline uses Psychological Type to enable you to understand your child’s way of thinking, recognise why they behave the way they do and learn to guide and teach them a way that they will respond to. We will establish the type of each member of the family, then have a look at your parenting style to see what behaviours could be adapted to better suit the needs of your children.
Discover:
I need to establish the personality types of each person in the family before doing a session with the parents with my recommendations. My interactions are predominantly with the parents, although I will need to have a quick chat with each child to ensure the type fits them.
Type assessments: Each adult will complete an online personality questionnaire about themselves and contribute to an online assessment for each child.
Validation: Jacqueline will run a 30 minute in-person session with with each adult and a shorter chat with each child to validate the personality types and ensure each are comfortable with their description.
Recommendations: I will meet for a 2-hour session with both parents to advise on the interplay of the personality types, what to focus on for each child and how to create an environment that will provide security and encouragement while reducing areas of conflict.
It is important to keep in mind that your child is a unique individual. This analysis will not explain everything, nor is it intended to suggest that your child is just like another of the same 'type.' Many other factors contribute to the person that your child is. With love and security, children do well in many different parenting environments. This session is to provide a short-cut through the trial and error of trying to figure out what will work for your very different children and enable them to be brought up in an environment where they feel understood.
"I found the work with Jacqueline to be key in understanding my three very different children. It has enabled me to communicate more effectively and understand their unique differences. It takes a lot of pressure off my perceived and sometimes unnecessarily high expectations as a parent and allows me to appreciate each of my children individually. It is the best parenting course I have done and the most simple to apply."

"Thank you so much for the session yesterday. I found it to be of huge value and very insightful. I went over the types with the two older girls yesterday evening and they were fascinated. I quote my daughter: “This lady is a genius - she, like, totally gets me”.

"I wanted to message to say THANK YOU again. Your session helped us enormously to understand our children and each other."
