As parents it isn’t always enough to ‘do our best’-
our best may not enable us to meet the
needs of our children,
however
much we want it to.
Someone
needs to stand up and
speak up for those
children, and offer
parents the information,
knowledge and skills that will help them
be great role models.
That 'someone' is
The Child Listener™
The Child Listener™ specialises in helping parents
and teachers learn
to listen to children
and teenagers
- and hear the words that are
not spoken, as well
as to more accurately
interpret what is being said.
Understanding children allows us to gain a greater insight into the 'why'
of unwanted - and wanted!- behaviour, so that we can work more effectively towards long term goals, rather than using a quick fix/ band-aid type approach.
'The Child Listener™' - Emma Hartnell-Baker (owner of Footprint Solutions™)
has a
BEd Hons, and an MA (specialising in Behaviour Management, Counselling,
Personal Social and Emotional Development and also Dyslexia)
from Nottingham University.
Emma was appointed by the UK Government (Office for Standards
in Education) as an Inspector of Education and Childcare, and is a

knowledge, working together to raise standards of literacy across

'Learning to Listen to Children'- Workshops for Parents
Workshops in 2010 - Please click here
The Child Listener™ takes a proactive approach to child development
and behaviour, and encourages parents to develop strategies that
enable children to learn 'social rules' and yet maintain independent
thought and creativity. Strategies that help children to be intrinsically
motivated to 'be their best' earlier rather than later. She asks parents to
consider - even before they are born!- how they are going to help children to develop their authentic selves. Many parents are fairly set in their ways
about how the world works, and what 'parenting' means- however there
is no parenting style or strategy that works for all- and parenting may need
to be different for different children! Those who really want to offer their
children the greatest chance of being happy, productive members of society
may need to work harder, be more creative, more patient and accept that
what seems to be 'right' to them may not always be effective.
They will need to take the time to consider what they really want for
their children, long term, so that they can take action to create this from day
one. Its the small things parents do every day that mould them into the adults
they are going to be. The Child Listener loves to work with parents
who want to expand on their knowledge and try new things- for the
long term benefit of their children.
As David Bly so aptly put
"Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be."
YOU are their main role model- and what you DO and how you BEHAVE
(rather than what you say)
teaches them how to be in the world.
If you cant communicate when frustrated by others, without using
personal attacks and without raising your voice, then don't expect them to either.
Do you need to improve on, or learn new skills, to be a better role model?

Let's leave living in judgment and 'being right' at the door- moving forwards
in a positive manner, towards a brighter future"
