Developing a growth mindset
Does your child lack confidence in their abilities and give up when they’re just getting started? Do they tell you they’re not good enough, avoiding the subjects they find the most difficult? Perhaps this creates tension between you both and you are unsure how best to support them.
As parents, it is natural for us to want to help our children when they are having a hard time but often working on the subject itself isn’t enough. We must first address the barriers to learning by looking at how children speak to and view themselves as a learner, providing tools to prevent panic and regulate their emotions, recognising unhelpful associated learning behaviours.
By understanding that their skills and abilities are not fixed, children can become empowered learners. With the right support, over time you will see a transformation in your child. Through nurturing group activities, your child will become more aware of how they feel and confident in the knowledge they can develop their talents in any subject.
Developing a growth mindset lasts far beyond the early education years and is fundamental for overcoming life’s many challenges. The more we practise it, our brain hardwires allowing us space to respond to challenges in the best ways we can, overcoming negative thoughts and noticing the positives.
What is included in your monthly membership:
- A live online weekly group lesson (tailored to KS1 or KS2 age groups).
- A weekly recorded meditation or reflection, which can be downloaded and watched again and again.
- A weekly worksheet or activity based around the lesson focus. (Examples include: Acknowledging emotions, speaking your mind, asking for help, healthy boundaries, challenging negative thoughts, creating connection, reflect and recharge).
- Unlimited access to ‘Seed, Read Grow’ story sessions. Use these short stories to enrich family life and learn more about your child and how they think and feel. Follow the reading reflections with your child to initiate discussion and engage in a shared story experience.
“We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.”

How we can learn and grow together
What to expect when you work with me.
- All learning is personalised and planned to meet the exact needs of your child. I will engage with your child's passions and get to know them as an individual, investing time and creativity in the areas that you aren’t trained to.
- Education becomes positive, empowering and an enjoyable experience that provides your child with memorable learning moments and transferable skills for life.
- I provide a safe learning space for your child to ask questions and take risks. This removes the power struggle that you are no doubt facing every time you try to engage with their learning.
- Throughout our time together, specific barriers to learning are identified and addressed, creating a sense of calm and ease for you at home going forward with learning.
- I ensure an open, honest dialogue throughout, so you know how best to support and engage with your child, showing an interest in their education rather than leading.
- Instead, you can enjoy guilt-free time together, doing the ‘important stuff’ - playing and making memories - knowing that the learning is being supported and taken care of.
- As the child’s first (and lifelong) teacher you will be fully supported throughout. I will ensure that you also feel confident, with professional advice and a personalised learning plan for the next steps.
