Some parents have found it helpful to arrange a Wine & Cheese evening in their home. This is done usually by gathering together 10 or more friends in the relaxing comfort of their home.   Providing  some wine & cheese adds to the informal nature of the evening.  

I provide a 30 minute overview of my general parenting principles and explanation of the main causes of challenging behaviours.

This is followed by Q & A where parents have plenty of time to ask questions and for their issues to be explored and strategies suggested.

Talk to your Mothers Group, friends or work colleagues and determine if they would be interested. Charge is $ 20.00 per person for two hours. Call Janet on 02 9939 3732  or email :janet@janetbcater.com to  arrange an evening at your house.

Hear what Sarah has to say about a recent workshop in her home:-

“Janet visited my home to speak to a group of 12 friends about the challenges we face every day with our children. I had heard Janet speak twice before to larger groups, but as a mum of two children, I organized this smaller session so we could focus primarily on children of 4-5 years and sibling issues.

At each of Janet’s seminars, I have learned something new. I particularly like the way Janet asks questions to understand what drives the child’s behaviour in a certain situation before she offers advice. She is also careful to tailor her advice to the age of the child.

What have I learned? More than I could include in this short testimonial, but one simple change is to use positives rather than negatives: ‘walk’ rather than ‘don’t run’; ‘use normal voices’ rather than ‘stop whining’!

Thanks Janet!

Sarah Thirlwell, full-time mum and part-time worker”.
