Parents

As a parent educator and emotional growth speaker, my role is to equip parents and caregivers to support their children’s emotional health. I help them develop the strategies and emotional tools they need to navigate challenging feelings and situations in a healthy and constructive way.

 

About my 1:1 Connect

Family life is full of ups and downs and many of us struggle to navigate the various daily demands. It can be really tough.

I provide personalised one-on-one coaching and consultation through my 1:1 ‘A&E’ Connects, offering parents and caregivers support on how to overcome these challenges and build improved emotional confidence and communication, going beyond the insights from my readings and workshops.

In these sessions, we tackle your specific struggles and challenges, exploring them in depth through discussions and practical applications of my toolkit, combined with honest mentorship and guidance.

Testimonials

I recently had an introduction Story Club session with my son at his primary school. We both had a fantastic time as my son who can be shy at making friends, enjoyed interacting with Clare and her colleagues in several activities that helped him gain his confidence playing with others and exploring his creativity.

What an incredible and valuable session from Clare and I feel we could all learn something from her style and enthusiasm. Clare had a large group of children with SEND and Behaviour concerns in her session and yet every single child stayed interested and engaged throughout her session. Clare’s story, props, reading style and energy captured the room including all of the supporting adults.

The session ended with one child at the front running up to her and hugging her shouting ‘I love you’ I was certainly left wanting more and I am sure the children would want this too. Please can we have her back for more sessions!

The parent talk was very informative and the parents that attended the talk found the event extremely helpful for them to use the books in a much more functional way to help with the emotional growth of their children. The live story readings were awe-inspiring and the use of puppets with the story captivated the smallest of children to be fully engaged with the reading, which is hard when they are 2 years old. They are still talking about Olive and many of the children told us they had read your books at home over the weekend.

Meeting the basket of characters from The Little Paws Hotel was a great hook into Clare’s storytelling which the children were completely engrossed in from start to finish. The hall was so quiet, you could have heard a pin drop. The children enjoyed listening to the story of Peggy and which brought some complex scenarios and feelings forward. The children were eager and comfortable to share their experiences, thoughts and ideas with Clare who valued each child’s contributions. It was a wonderful experience for children and teachers alike.

I didn’t know whether to wake my son up at 3 am to tell him I was going to the hospital. I looked at my bedside table and The Daesy Dialogue was starting at me – I knew I had to tell my soon or he’d wake up having to hear from his older sisters and feel so scared. He was so sleepy and said thanks for waking him. This morning, he Face Timed me while one of my daughters was making him breakfast and he was so chilled. The joys of being able to talk so openly even if painful. Keep teaching us and reminding us to talk, Clare.
