Behaviour and discipline
Boy aged 4 years old
After 3 days with you and systems in place our house is a calmer and happier place.
feel so lucky that we could ask for your help. You totally changed the way I viewed my son. There was a time when I dreaded him waking in the morning.

Kathryn was with us for 3 days, I would have happily let her move in!
Our son, very intelligent, but struggling to engage at school. Kathryn got us, them and him to sing from the same hymn sheet. Tackling the problem before it got too big.

My husband and I would like to thank you for the amazing advice you gave us to help with our son's communication and behaviour.
He is thrilled about his reward charts and after 2 days this system is definitely helping. We were all, including Nanna and Grandad completely 'Wowed' by you.

Kathryn had provided me with several clear strategies, which were both easy to grasp for me, and exciting for the boys.
I called Kathryn in when I feared that my 1 and 3 year olds were moments away from being ‘one step ahead of me’ rather than the other way round. And in fact, almost as soon as Kathryn arrived, she observed that they were already there!
All was not lost and within hours, Kathryn had provided me with several clear strategies, which were both easy to grasp for me, and exciting for the boys. Our initial problems of squabbling and fighting back were very quickly resolved, and although the boys found ‘a shift back in power’ hard, they soon got used to the new ‘ways of working’ and calm quickly returned to the house!
What has been most interesting to note, is that once you are back in control and a clear reward/consequence programme is in place, the benefits spill over into all parts of behaviour. Both of my children now pride themselves in ‘being good’ and love to receive their rewards and also understand clearly when they are fast approaching the boundaries of consequence.
We’re still not perfect, that’s life, but with practice we are a considerably happier and calmer household for Kathryn’s recent visit.

Now after just one warning he will listen to me and stop the naughty behaviour...it's a huge relief.
I was feeling so frustrated with him for not listening to me and I felt surprised by how angry I could feel towards him. I would shout really loud sometimes. We read through our new house rules at meal times and he is very clear about what is acceptable and not acceptable behaviour. Now after just one warning he will listen to me and stop the naughty behaviour. I don’t have to get so angry with him. It’s a huge relief.
