I'm so excited to introduce my two latest books to you. During the lockdown I kept myself busy writing 'Understanding children and teens - a practical guide for parents, teachers and coaches' published November 2020 and then 'Empower your kids! A coaching guide for parents' published March 2021. I'm currently working on an EBook for parents of pre-school children. I tend to share my work in progress on my Substack platform. You can get a free subscription here https://judybart.substack.com/ and if you have a professional interest, maybe you work with children or teens, then you may find the paid subscription beneficial as you get a free Ebook every month, access to my monthly subscriber-only zoom Q&A call and additional content geared towards those working with kids. It costs just £5 a month or £50 a year. 'Understanding children and teens' is essentially a training course in how to use Neuro Linguistic Programming, Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), Art Therapy and Mindfulness with the children you love, care for, teach or treat. The chapters are methodology based with plenty of examples, activities and exercises to use to address whatever they need help with, getting in deep to understand them. 'Empower your kids!' is a practical 'go to' for parents with chapters based on issues; anger, anxiety, fear, change, friendship, self-esteem, learning, sleep etc. The front end contains techniques and discussion of general parenting with exercises for you to do yourself to get a better understanding of how to communicate what you want and get them to hear you! I run NLP & EFT Family, training people who want to work with children or apply these techniques and principles in their life. I also see clients, big and small! I work with mums and dads to help them clear trauma from their own childhood that may be affecting how they parent. I see children and teens for general self esteem or anxiety programmes, therapy for specific issues and really anything that's getting in the way of them being happy. I would say that my writing style is warm and friendly, I am willing to be vulnerable and share my feelings. I have a good sense of fun and my therapy sessions are activity and art based with a sprinkling of techniques from the world of NLP and EFT. Clients may laugh and cry but they always emerge a step or so closer to their desired outcome. I hope that this is also true for my writing. All my therapy and training is available online face to face and 1:1. I also have a course you can download and work on independently in your own time but I'm always available for questions of course.
