Research shows that most students prefer to turn to their parents and friends for support, rather than to professionals.
Often parents don’t feel equipped to provide that support or that what they are doing doesn’t seem to be helping.
In general, parents are not provided with guidance on how to best support their child during stressful periods of study, like the exam season.
We offer training to parents on a number of techniques used by professionals. We look at the theory underlying these techniques and why they work.
By helping improve parents’ skills and confidence, we ultimately aim to improve your child’s academic performance.
